Mima Smart writes: 'Last year Alice Cox, Margaret May, Pansy Woods,
Mabel Queama, Marjorie Sandimar, Yvonne Edwards, Mima Smart, Janet
May worked as storytellers or translators with Christobel
Mattingley to tell the story of what happened at Maralinga. Our
story is a very important story that needs to be heard by children
and adults across our country. Christobel has added a lot of other
stories and information to make a very strong story. We have
continued working on the book this year and have just finished
another workshop to draw pictures that help tell our story. Dora
Queama, Hilda Moodoo, Audra Bridley and Noelene Bridley have helped
some of the older ladies to do the paintings.'
Christobel Mattingley is the award-winning author of over 40 books,
including for Allen + Unwin, Battle Order 204 and Chelonia Green,
Champion of Turtles.
