It was all new to me, so I was coming at this with great curiosity and no ‘cultural cringe.’ Millers Point is a new name, coined during the early Colonial period and I have tried to acknowledge that by writing the opening song, ‘Every Sunbed hides a Ghost.’ When I arrived in this country I was shocked to see how little Aboriginal history was reflected in public places. That is changing somewhat now, and, while those are not my stories to tell, ‘Every Sunbed’ is a way of acknowledging the lost First Nations souls of the area before it was ‘named.’ In many of the history books I read, information about women and their roles in the neighbourhood was scant or simply absent. I have tried to address by writing as many songs as possible from a female perspective. “\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"9tea3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eMillers Point Songbook\u003c\/i\u003e features 24 songs which track the history of Sydney’s colonial settlement in Millers Point, and its impact on the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piper Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46551553212583,"sku":"9781763576100","price":6.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2405\/0589\/files\/9781763576100.jpg?v=1739252417"},{"product_id":"exposure-a-photographic-memoir","title":"Exposure: A photographic memoir","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eExposure: A photographic memoir\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis an intimate journey through Australia’s bohemian art world, told by acclaimed photographer \u003cb\u003eGreg Weight\u003c\/b\u003e, whose lens has captured some of Australia's most iconic artists and cultural moments over the past five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith wit and candour, Weight shares his encounters with \u003cb\u003eMartin Sharp, Brett Whiteley, Reg \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMombassa, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Johnny Bell, John Olsen, Garry Shead, Margaret \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eOlley, Luke Sciberras, Tracey Moffatt, Jeffrey Smart and others\u003c\/b\u003e, bringing them to life in personal, often poignant settings.
