A poem written by a person to whom Lindy had introduced herself and Azaria the day before, and who helped on the night Azaria died. We Were Strangers (pdf, 20kb)

A lovely poem sent us shortly after Lindy’s book was published in 2004. The poem was written in the 1980s, but we had not seen it before. Song and Dance (pdf, 22kb)

A two-person ‘play’ written by Greg Lowe, who was at the barbecue with the Chamberlains the night Azaria died. Between a Rock and a Hard Place (pdf, 87kb)

We have been sent hundreds of writings, some by witnesses, some by children of families affected by their parent’s fight to help Lindy, some by the public stunned by the time it took the ‘system’ to right a wrong. I will add to this list over time.

    Cartoons are one way the artist can express a political opinion. These ones were normally used on the Opinion or Editorial pages of major newspapers. I will let them speak for themselves. Everyone is allowed to express their opinion. This cartoon (below) appeared in a Sydney ‘fringe’ paper, in early 1996, not long after the […]
