This a a fantastic follow up to Dark Emu, surveying some sacred places of Australia. They talk about the land, the birds, animals, plants, with the original inhabitants relationships and inevitably the violent clash with the invaders. The very real “settlements’ that the indigenous people had are described as are the other tools and technology. However the sections that are most enthralling are the discussions of the continuing relationship of the people to their environment. Of course the details of the massacres are shocking and tragic. The resilience of the people are described with power. A very worthwhile book.
