Against the stark background of Federation-era Australia, on the remote cattle station of 'Dry River Run', unfurls the epic drama of the Callaway family. Paul Dean and Rodney Hall's new opera presents a world immortalised by Barbara Baynton and Henry Lawson, while evoking the raw beauty of the surrounding landscape. As the nation struggles to come to terms with its new identity, so too do the Callaways as they struggle to face their darkest secrets.
