Rafael de Grenade was twelve years old when she quit school and soon began to work on a mountain ranch in Arizona. There she learned how to sleep out when there was no fast way home; how to track her way by familiar mountains and canyons; how to survive off the water that seeped from moss hidden springs. But when she heard about cattlemen working the far edges of the Australian outback, they sparked a dream in her far wilder than anything she had ever known. A little over a decade later she arrived on Stilwater Station with two shirts, two pairs of jeans, cowboy boots, and some doubt that she would ever come home.
A deeply poetic inquiry, Stilwater suffuses us with salt and scrub and blood. This is a whirlwind of men, women, cattle, horses, machines and landscape in collaborative evolution, all becoming different manifestations of the same entity—the Australian Wild.”
