One of Australia’s best known artists, Mandy Martin, together with historian Libby Robin and zoologist Chris Dickman will join conservation-pastoralist Guy Fitzhardinge, deputy chair of Desert Channels Queensland, to explore the impulse to protect the country where Australia’s desert rivers rise.

At a time when Lake Eyre is filling fast, and biodiversity is booming, they discuss conservation partnerships in Desert Channels Country and display new art and writing about the region.
