A charming piece of Australian local history, Slates and Suet Pudding by Carmyl Winkler chronicles the social and everyday life of a regional Australian community, drawing on memories, anecdotes, and historical records to paint a vivid picture of times gone by. The title itself evokes the schoolroom and the kitchen — two cornerstones of colonial and early Australian life — and the narrative carries that same warm, intimate tone throughout. Winkler presents a grassroots account of community, family, and place, grounded in the detail and texture of lived experience. Adding further depth to the volume, a guest chapter contributed by Dulcie Callander enriches the story with an additional personal perspective, making this a collaborative and affectionate tribute to a bygone era.
