IN DEVELOPMENT
GOLD 1896
A Taste Keepers Story
Food · Migration · Memory · Western Australia
Within Taste Keepers, historical fiction can become a carefully labelled creative pathway for exploring the way food and family memory travel across time. GOLD 1896 develops that pathway around Western Australia’s goldfields era.
Public-benefit boundary: community research, workshops, heritage interpretation and public excerpts can sit within Taste Keepers; the literary work remains a distinct creative work. Contributor stories, recipes or images are not automatically incorporated into fiction.
