Cassowary Hill pivots between Australia and the U.S., and highlights ticklish instances of fondness and disconnection between the two countries. Over the shifting ground of awkward friendships, love affairs and farcical grassroots activism are cast the shadows of interlopers. Some represent large nations that torment the inhabitants of small ones; some are lone individuals intruding on the territory of prodigious animal life in a rainforest habitat that as yet remains miraculously undamaged by human encroachment. Cassowary Hill is at once a rebuke to authority and a tragicomedy about nature, politics, art, wine and love.
