The White Earth is a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel by Australian author Andrew McGahan.
The stage version, adapted by McGahan and Shaun Charles, premiered at Brisbane's La Boite Theatre in February–March 2009.
The book follows a dual narrative between the perspectives of Will and John, where Will's takes place over the time period of late 1992 to 1993 and John's takes place from his childhood up to the present of 1993.
Dedication: For my parents, whose life this isn't.
Author's note: This is a work of fiction. While the Darling Downs are real enough, the northern parts of the region do not exist as described here. This story is not meant to portray any actual place, person or event.
