Kate Liston-Mills’ The Waterfowl Are Drunk! is a series of short stories set in the author’s hometown, Pambula, on New South Wales’ far south coast.
A fox stalks a nest of hatching swans, loving parents deal with their child’s Down syndrome diagnosis, a close-knit community mourns a death, a teenager is forced to give up an afternoon of surfing to spend time with her Nan.
