Description
Melanie Bennett grew up at Engineer Creek, 200 km up the Dempster Highway, when the road was being built. There were few neighbours of the human variety but the surrounding wilderness was her playground and schoolroom. That upbringing helps her maintain "one foot on the land" in her role as an educator. Melanie joins host Karen McColl for a deep dive into her memories of life on the highway and the lessons it taught her.
