In Search of the Never-Never
Mickey Dewar made a profound contribution to the history of the Northern Territory, which she performed across many genres. She produced high‑quality, memorable and multi-sensory histories, including the Cyclone Tracy exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the reinterpretation of Fannie Bay Gaol. Informed by a great love of books, her passion for history was infectious. As well as offering three original chapters that appraise her work, this edited volume republishes her first book, In Search of the Never-Never. In Dewar’s comprehensive and incisive appraisal of the literature of the Northern Territory, she provides brilliant, often amusing insights into the ever-changing representations of a region that has featured so large in the Australian popular imagination

Fannie Bay Gaol was home also to the innocent offenders whose only crimes were to be vulnerable to colonial law: Chinese and Aboriginal prisoners, the poor, the insane and the children convicted of crimes. Some prisoners were incarcerated, never to return to free society again, dead by execution or disease. The Gaol was eventually closed in 1979.For the first time the history of this str...
