With its roots deeply set in the earth the humble Mallee finds its strength to face the uncertain challenges of nature. Its tenacity to survive and live on through long droughts and harsh weather conditions is symbolic of the Birchip community who also face similar challenges in their own lives. Written and performed by Glenys Rickard.
