Chapter 2: Territory, by Laura Jean McKay

A pig hunt doubles as a first date.

Territory by Laura Jean McKay

read by Ben de Pagter

Synopsis
Territory takes listeners inside an Australia that few of us ever get to see: from the dried creek beds of the Northern Territory, to a Sunday afternoon at the pub unlike any other.

It's a visceral story, that captures a sense of heat, violence, and tension of a place, that makes us reconsider the relationships with have with animals, and each other.

Listeners are advised that this episode of Unfolded comes with a language and content warning.
