{"product_id":"middlemarsh-rod-giblett-9781801351997","title":"Middlemarsh: The Hopkins River, Kindred Wetlands and Remarkable People","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"One book leads to another; one book grows out of another; one book flows out of others. Flowing is a fitting figure for a book about a river, creeks, wetlands and water. The present volume grew out of a brief discussion of two paintings of wetlands in mid-western Victoria by the nineteenth-century colonial landscape painter Eugene von Gu駻ard. This discussion was part of a chapter on wetlands in Australian painting and photography (Giblett 2020a). It was included in John Ryan's and Li Chen's edited collection \u003ci\u003eAustralian Wetland Cultures \u003c\/i\u003e(Ryan and Chen, eds 2020). I also contributed a chapter to this volume on Aboriginal wetland cultures, their sacral water beings and their refraction in Rainbow Serpent anthropology and Rainbow Spirit theology (Giblett 2020e). I take up and develop this discussion in the present volume in relation to particular Aboriginal peoples and places in mid-western Victoria, their practices of wetland cultures and their stories about and images of them, including the Rainbow Serpent.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the Hopkins River, Its Basin, People and Places 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1.
