Katherine's coming down

Summary: "This book gives voice to the experiences of many people involved in the devastating Australia Day flood of 1998. When nature rises up an exerts her power over our lives it is a terrifying experience. We are powerless in the face of natural disasters but what we do have in abundance, while everything else is lost, is the ability to regenerate and recover. This book is more than a record of a community's tragic experiences. 'The Katherine's Comin' Down' is an important document in the process of recovery. It bears witness. It is an expression of hope and the resilience of the Katherine Community." --p. ix.
