Had it not been for the larrikin spirit in outback Australia, we’d all have gone crazy. This spirit allowed us to laugh at ourselves and the authorities that made life more difficult than it already was, which helped boost pioneers’ morale. It gave us a sense of survival and taught us not to take ourselves or life too seriously.
Our larrikin heroes were not so much ‘villains’ but people who enjoyed outsmarting the toffs (society’s upper-class) and silvertails (those who were socially prominent) of their day. Larrikins stood up for what they believed in and weren’t afraid of saying what they thought. Some were ratbags, but many had a good heart.
Stories of plants and people are connected in countless ways. Humans have always needed and loved plants, but we have also caused untold destruction on natural environments around the globe.
The Conversation co-hosted an online panel discussion exploring the interconnections between the human and natural worlds on 14 June 2021, presented in partnership with the State Library of Queensland.
Prudence Gibson from UNSW, Laura Skates from The University of Western Australia and Tanja Beer from the Queensland College of Art joined Eddie Game from The Nature Conservancy in a passionate discussion about people’s interactions with plants across social, emotional, scientific and creative endeavours.
