Dr Bronwyne August (AKA Dr Bron) earned her PhD in writing at Deakin University after completing honours in Writing at Edith Cowan University. She grew up on the edge of the Fitzgerald River National Park and developed a deep connection with the unique landscape of the south west of WA. When not teaching at ECU or for Navitas, she is camping, fishing and picking up plastic and rubbish from one of the wild beaches between Esperance and Walpole. In the afterlife she plans to float on home to Hopetoun where she can scare the feral cats out of the park.
