The Story of Rosy Dock

The Australian desert: for thousands of years the only
changes here were made by the wind, the willy-willies
and sometimes the rain.
Then a hundred years ago people from Europe settled
in the desert and planted seeds from the other side of
the world.
The Story of Rosy Dock is the story of one of the
settlers who followed them, and her garden in the
wilderness, a garden that is beautiful – but with an
unexpected flowering.
