Tom Petrie (1831-1910), explorer and grazier, arrived in the then convict settlement of Moreton Bay in 1837. His reminiscences of what was to become the colony of Queensland were recorded by his daughter, Constance, in 1904. The book includes a fascinating record the life and customs of the aboriginal population, whose dialect he spoke and in whose activities he was invited to participate. An Australian classic and an important source for researchers of early Aboriginal / White settler conflict. - Summary by barbara2 (0 hr 53 min)

Extremely interesting stories of Australian Aborigines

(5 Sterne)

This book really changed my understanding of early English Australia and the culture of the indigenous people. I had thought of them as having simple or no culture, but they did have a complex and interesting culture before all was taken from them. I also enjoyed learning about the flora and fauna and how it was used. There are several readers. All of the readers are good.

Wonderful

(5 Sterne)

So glad to have found this fascinating text. Highly recommended to anyone with even the most superficial interest in Australia's history. Looking forward to listening to it all again

(5 Sterne)

this should be given to students to read in high school in Australia
