About us

Black River, formerly known as ‘of the land & us’, is an online journal for curious minds about people, places, and living. We share honest and down-to-earth stories which explore our relationship with the world and what it means to be human.

The name ‘Black River’ is inspired by our founder and editor’s part-Mauritian heritage, referencing the Rivière Noire District in the south-west of Mauritius – a stunningly green and mountainous part of the country where you’ll also find the largest national park, the Black River Gorges National Park.
