It's - 20-26 October 2025 - a time that encourages individuals, communities, schools and organisations to be inspired to promote the importance of water.

The 2025 theme is Bring Water into Focus – a new call to action that encourages people to see water not just as a resource, but as the invisible thread connecting everything in our lives.

THE MALLEE - written by former federal member of parliament Richard Evans - brings water into sharp focus as both a lifeline and a source of power, revealing how control over this essential resource shapes communities, politics, and survival itself.

Through its gripping political drama, the novel exposes the fragile balance between greed and necessity, reminding readers that water connects, and defines, every aspect of life in the Australian landscape.

THE MALLEE is available from major retailers online, local bookstores, and libraries.
