In powerful lyrical stanzas, she tells the story of Olive's struggle for recognition as a female anthropologist, her lifelong work for the rights of the Warlpiri and Arrernte people she loved and lived among, and the creation of her arid garden. "High on a camel swaying to and fro / with a straight back and a broad smile / Olive rides into her future." Olive's persistence, her triumphs and her passion for justice make for uplifting and compelling reading.
