About this listen
It's 1972 in Gibber's Creek, and across the nation, the catchcry is "It's time".
As political ideals drift from disaster to the dismissal, it's also time for Jed Kelly to choose between past love, Nicholas, the local Labor member, and Sam from the Halfway to Eternity commune. It's time, too, for Matilda Thompson to face her ghosts and the life that took a young girl from the slums of Grinder's Alley to being the formidable matriarch of Gibber's Creek.
During this period of extraordinary social change and idealism, modern Australia would be born. And although the nation would dream of a better world, it would continue to struggle with opposing ideas of exactly what that better world might be.
Jackie French, author of the best-selling To Love a Sunburnt Country, has woven her own experience of that time into an unforgettable story of a small rural community and a nation swept into the social and political tumult of the early 1970s.
A time that would bear witness to some of the most controversial events in Australian history; and for Matilda, a time that would see her vision made real, without blood spilled upon the wattle.

outstanding
I lived those years. I was not a flower child. We lived the standard suburban family life. My first vote was for Gough Whitlam. I despise the lying drunkard Kerr and his Cur as much now as I did then. Thank you JF, for yet another great read. You are so gifted in connecting your reader to your story.
