A fierce, poetic story of resistance and survival, Way Back When imagines an Australia where colonisation was thwarted and resilience ignite a future reclaimed.
In Way Back When, Dylan Van Den Berg invites us into an alternate Australia—one where the colonisers failed, but the fight for survival and belonging continues. Through the eyes of Tib, Duncan, and Nel—three Aboriginal women navigating the aftermath of resistance—we see a world alive with humour, grief, and fierce storytelling. With magic legs, whispered winds, and watchful fires, Way Back When is a bold reimagining of history and its echoes in the present. A story of resistance, survival, and its powerful testament to truth-telling and community.
