About the Author

Acacia Rose is a long time campaigner for the health of the Snowy River.

Her characters draw strength from the mountains, the wild horses and one another. Ultimately, this is a story about the fight for the freedom of the threatened Snowy River.
Meredith Goulding comes to Editing from an academic background in Literary Criticism. Each of her three degrees in this field were, in accordance with the high standard of the English Department at The University of Sydney, thoroughly taught and rigorously examined. These fifteen years of training culminated in a Ph.D in 1981, following a 1st Class Honours M.A in 1975. A career in teaching, at several levels and to diverse groups of students, put these critical skills into practice, shaping, structuring and stringently editing a wide range of written compositions from short poems to extended theses - so both creative and analytical works. Further, in terms of scope, Editing entails both micro and macro attention to the script. Many years of experience develop the necessary skills in this field.
