Description - Free Diving by Lorrae Coffin
A poignant tribute to the Aboriginal men and women who worked in the pearling industry as free divers in the late nineteenth century in Western Australia.The fictionalised lyrical narrative is based on the celebrated song Free Diving by singer songwriter Lorrae Coffin. It sensitively reflects the emotional journey of a young man who leaves family and country to work on a lugger with Japanese and Malay divers by his side. Bronwyn Houston s illustrations are a deep-sea celebration that illuminate both the glory of the ocean and the extreme dangers encountered by the free divers.
