About

Nestled between Albany and Denmark in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, Eungedup is brimming with vibrant life, yet also threatened by developers. Drawn to this biodiverse wonderland, Watson' s immersion in the wetlands mirrors his own path to healing. His diary entries through the hot Noongar seasons of Kambarang, Birak and Bunuru record teeming life as the wetlands await seasonal renewal and the coming of rain.

"'A work of unfailing attentiveness; Watson's poems not only give us a lens to love a wetland, but his witness becomes a way to belong.'"
Reneé Pettitt-Schipp

Gail Simmons
"'This work contains an intimate and urgent message: that we need places like Eungedup to continue to be - we need them as much they need our protection.'"
