This semester I'm taking an Australian gothic literature course (which is turning out to be my favourite class thus far). We consider the Australian landscape, (rainforests, bush, desert) and how these are captured as a backdrop for gothic writing or film.
One of my favourite reads from the course so far as been Elizabeth Jolley's The Well, which is littered throughout with beautiful images of Australian countryside covered in swirls of mist, and precious rain that carries with it the sound of muffled voices. This week Katoomba reminded me of this landscape as we carefully trekked through a very saturated rainforest.
