South Regional TAFE : Your Library: New Resources

Fifty-one authors from the Great Southern have dug deep to share a variety of feelings : love, passion, yearning, grief, happiness, and contentment. They love and defend our extraordinary natural environment. They shudder at the horrors of war, they try to reconcile themselves with our uncomfortable past and present and they contemplate truths about the modern condition and their advancing years. Some have already been published such as Diane Wolfer, Jon Doust and Giles Watson; others are brand new to the public. South Regional TAFE is represented by Ruth Ainscough, Damien Sivewright and student Lorna Masters.
