In his Calibre award winning essay The Great Red Whale, Michael Winkler describes his search for belonging in the midst of life with mental illness. Born in “a red-dirt town” he tells how how Uluru in the centre of Australia and the 19th Century novel Moby Dick, offer respite for a mind that, “at its most untrammelled, could split each second into a hundred parts, and be aware of an infinitude of time in each… The terror of existing without a secure foothold.”
