| Summary |
War on the Australian frontier started soon after the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. The seeds of war were sown when it became clear that the British were invading the continent with plans to occupy the lands of Australia's first people, the Indigenous Australians. Constant violent conflict was to continue right up into the early 1900s with a massacre of Indigenous people happening in 1928. Marji Hill, author of more than 65 publications tells the stories of five Aboriginal resistance heroes: Pemulwuy, Musquito, Windradyne, Yagan, Jandamarra. In this hidden history of Australia discover how these five Indigenous heroes of the resistance helped the cultures of the first people survive in the face of almost total dispossession and destruction. If you want to delve into an aspect of the world's oldest continuing civilisation and discover how some heroes in Australian history fought to defend their country then this book is for you. |
