Bruce Pascoe–Dark Emu


Recent Review

This book needs to be read by all Australians, especially poleticians. It redefines our first nation and there is so much we can learn from them. This could change the face of farming in Australia - will not happen overnight but farms in marginal areas could turn their profits around. 

Rather than spend $50M on a new memorial to Capt Cook, invest that money into research and education outlined in this book. My view of our first nation has changed dramatically. 

I lived in central Australia in the mid-late 70's, and have returned several times - I now need to visit that area with different eyes & mind set. Thank you Bruce for enlightening me. 

I hope many more Australians will read this book and see our first nation in a different light. 

Collectively we need to put pressure on all areas of government to read this book and do something about saving our environment and learning from "hunters & gatherers" (what a misnomer) and preserving their heritage.
