This is an edited sound recording of John Collins, former managing director of the Brisbane-based book publisher Jacaranda Press, recalling the way the Indigenous poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal (then Kath Walker) produced illustrations for her 1980 book 'Father sky and mother earth'. He describes how a casual remark led to her being provided with felt-tip pens, which she took back to her home on North Stradbroke Island, returning with the drawings in less than three weeks. The recording was made in October 2007 and lasts for 1 min 19 s.
