about

This album tells the story of a decade of involvement in direction action campaigns in Australia and New Zealand. Each song stirs memories for me of the hundreds of people with the courage and commitment to stand up and be counted, be harassed, and even persecuted, in defence of our Earth and her species. The songs are dedicated to those people, most of whom continue to work in many and varied ways for a better world for our children.
