Alice’s dreaming is centrally about the childhood, memories and writings of Alice Duncan-Kemp (1901-1988), who grew up on a pastoral property named Mooraberrie in the first decades of the 20th century.
Mooraberrie was a vast sheep and cattle station located in the Channel Country between Birdsville and Windorah in inland south-western Queensland. A 2015 native title determination recognised Mithaka people as the traditional owners of the region.
