Author Lucy Treloar is a master of writing place. In her latest novel the near ghost-town Terowie – a place rich in metaphorical resonance - is transformed into the fictional town of Wirowie, through which she explores themes of abandonment, haunting and loss. She reflects on the way in which the past insists through the landscape and the unique, evocative character of South Australia’s geography.
