Bruce Munday traverses SA in search of the beautiful stone wall's built by the early settlers, finding historic masterpieces and insights into rural life in the years following settlement in his book Those Dry-Stone Walls. Researcher Rhondda Harris shares the journal of William Baker Ashton, first governor of the Adelaide Gaol, in her book Ashton's Hotel. This is a fascinating book which paints a picture of life at the gaol and in the fledgling colony and is an unusual but absorbing account of the birth of South Australia.

In 2016, fleeing London with a broken heart, Alexandra returns to Australia to be with her grandparents. With only weeks together, her grandparents begin to reveal the family mysteries they have kept secret for more than half a century. A gorgeously told tale of female friendship, the price of love, and the power of hardship and courage to shape us all. Kirsty Manning grew up in northern New South Wales. A country girl with wanderlust, her travels and studies have taken her through most of Europe, the east and west coasts of the United States and pockets of Asia.

Kirsty's first novel was the enchanting The Midsummer Garden published in 2017. The Jade Lily, compelling and pacey, is her second book.

Hugh Mackay Friday 25 May, 7pm–8pm

Meet the Author: Hugh Mackay 'Australia Reimagined' Australia’s most respected and experienced social researcher, Hugh Mackay, believes something is wrong with the state of the nation and in the lives of its citizens. Drawing on his 50 years’ experience of listening to Australians talk about their lives and watching big trends, Mackay shows how an unprecedented run of economic growth has failed to deliver a more stable or harmonious society. He remains optimistic and determined to be part of the solution, offering compelling proposals for a more compassionate society and a call to action to everyone who loves Australia enough to want to make it a better place for us all.

Book Talk Tuesday: Mandy Paul 'Bush Mechanics' Bush Mechanics first screened on the ABC in 2001, starring young Walpiri men, rusty old cars and the Australian outback.

It was a hit. Funny, ingenious and sometimes confronting, Bush Mechanics was filmed in and around Yuendumu, one of the largest Aboriginal communities in Central Australia.

The stories centred around cars, but provided broader insights into contemporary Aboriginal life and culture. This book explores the history and the continuing appeal of Bush Mechanics. Editor Mandy Paul is the director of the Migration Museum and editor Michaelangelo Bolognese is a senior curator at the National Motor Museum.
