Yandamula flies above the desert bushland with her sisters, just as they always do at burning time. But this time, not everything happens as it should. This time, Yandamula and her sisters are confronted with something new.
Written by Wiradjuri woman Hannah Donnelly, “After the End of Their World” is speculative fiction that explores what Australia might look like far into the future. In classic science fiction fashion, it provides few details about the setting or characters and lets the reader construct a world that is simultaneously foreign and familiar to our own, asking questions about what might one day be possible.
Please note: Other stories in this book contain mature content, including violence and horror.
