Download or read book Sacred Waters written by Dianne Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SACRED WATERS is the account of the dispossession of Indigenous people in the Blue Mountains within living memory, and is one of the winners of the 2008 NSW Premier's History Awards. The Gully, situated in the middle of Katoomba, was used as a summer holiday camp by the Gundungurra and Darug peoples before white settlement. After white settlement many moved to the Gully permanently and in the 1950s when Gundungurra land was flooded for the creation of Warragamba Dam, this process became irreversible. The Gully residents lived in relative harmony with their white neighbours until 1957 when some local businessmen decided to build a car racing track there and the Gully people homes were simply bulldozed - they had no say in the matter and many had no compensation. By recounting the area's Aboriginal history, Sacred Waters also tells the story of Sydney's waterways, used for centuries by Aboriginal people as pathways across the Blue Mountains. The book, written by Dianne Johnson in collaboration with the residents of Katoomba's Gully area and their descendents, was supported by the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and the Sydney Catchment Authority.
Download or read book The Blue Plateau written by Mark Tredinnick and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2011-12-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of The Land’s Wild Music depicts Australia’s Blue Mountains through stories of the land and the lives within it. At the farthest extent of Australia’s Blue Mountains, on the threshold of the country’s arid interior, the Blue Plateau reveals the vagaries of a hanging climate: the droughts last longer, the seasons change less, and the wildfires burn hotter and more often. In The Blue Plateau, Mark Tredinnick tries to learn what it means to fall in love with a home that is falling away. A landscape memoir in the richest sense, Tredinnick’s story reveals as much about this contrary collection of canyons and ancient rivers, cow paddocks and wild eucalyptus forests as it does about the myriad generations who struggled to remain in the valley they loved. It captures the essence of a wilderness beyond subjugation, the spirit of a people just barely beyond defeat. Charting a lithology of indigenous presence, faltering settlers, failing ranches, floods, tragedy, and joy that the place constantly warps and erodes, The Blue Plateau reminds us that, though we may change the landscape around us, it works at us inexorably, with wind and water, heat and cold, altering who and what we are. The result is an intimate and illuminating portrayal of tenacity, love, grief, and belonging. In the tradition of James Galvin, William Least Heat-Moon, and Annie Dillard, Tredinnick plumbs the depths of people’s relationship to a world in transition. Praise for The Blue Plateau “One of the wisest, most gifted and ingenious writers you could hope to find.” —Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food and The Omnivore’s Dilemma “I’ve never been to Australia, but now—after this book—it comes up in my dreams. The landscape in the language of this work is alive and conscious, and Tredinnick channels it in prose both wild and inspired. . . . Part nonfiction novel, part classic pastoral, part nature elegy, part natural history, the whole of The Blue Plateau conveys a deep sense, rooted in the very syntax of a lush prose about an austere land, that there can be no meaningful division between nature and culture, between humans and all the other life that interdepends with us, not in the backcountry of southeastern Australia, nor anywhere else.” —Orion “Absorbed slowly, as a pastoral landscape of loss and experiment in seeing and listening, the book richly rewards that patience.” —Publishers Weekly

Available flat or folded (packaged in a handy cellophane bag ) it s the perfect take-home product for tourists and anyone interested in the diversity of our first nations peoples. The handy desk size also makes it an ideal resource for individual student use. For tens of thousands of years, the First Australians have occupied this continent as many different nations with diverse cultural relationships linking them to their own particular lands. The ancestral creative beings left languages on country, along with the first peoples and their cultures. More than 200 distinct languages, and countless dialects of them, were in use when European colonization began. While people in some communities continue to speak their own languages, many others are seeking to record and revive threatened ones. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples retain their connection to their traditional lands regardless of where they live. Using published resources available from 1988-1994, the map represents the remarkable diversity of language or nation groups of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia. The map was produced before native title legislation and is not suitable for use in native title or other land claims."
