Author Talk: Chris Hammer on The River (SA)

About:
Before Chris Hammer was the bestselling author of crime novels (such as Scrublands) he was an investigative journalist. This work led him to write a prize-winning non-fiction book about the Murray Darling Basin and the people living alongside it, The River.

Join author Chris Hammer and Dr Philip Roetman, environmental sustainability champion, winner of Unsung Hero of Science Communication at the South Australian Science Excellence Awards and City of Burnside's own Environmental Sustainability Manager, as they discuss the updated edition being published of The River and the state of the Murray Darling Basin today. Chris will also discuss his career up until now, including his TV series on Stan, and how this non-fiction work greatly influenced his fiction.
