In this episode, Meesha Williams talks to Annette Trevitt about her new book: I Had a Father in Karratha.

Annette’s book describes her experience becoming the executor of her father’s will after he passed away in his Pilbara home. After flying to the Pilbara, it soon became apparent to Annette that there was a large mess to clean up: including numerous rundown properties that were accruing debt. 

On the podcast, Annette talks more about her relationship with her father, as well as the craft that went into creating this book with its unique form. It is, in her words, “almost like a series of short stories,” with lines of text messages interspersed throughout the prose.

The music in this episode is Mark Isaacs's composition "Have one more" played by Simon Tedeschi, for the ABC recording "Tender Earth".
