Two hand drawn maps of the overland telegraph line through Australia. The bottom one is a sketch of gibber plains with key sites such as Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta, and Strangways Springs. The top one is a map with prose “we joke about songs we will write, the ballads of dirt and dynamite, over the crackle of walkie talkies. We follow the lines on the map and off the map again, chasing shadows of the nineteenth century and men we can never meet, even though we talk about them like admired friends and bosses we never had. We wash red earth off our hands and faces everyday, and everyday there is more. We see the signs everywhere - poles, insulators, track, tree stumps - as we call the names down the wire - beltana, strangways, the Peake. We call other names too - Araban, Arrernte, Adamanye. We are connected through this country, those lines, these stories, that time.”
