Download or read book The Long Story written by Graham Perrett and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wayne Long is a proud Murri man, born in St George on the Balonne River, but he is also a child of the Middle Kingdom – his grandfather, Old Billy Long, was part of the Chinese diaspora. Wayne’s story is interwoven with the historical, political and social events that have impacted on inter-racial relations in Australia for more than two hundred years, from Cook’s landing to Mabo, from the Frontier Wars to the 1987 Goondiwindi riots, from the White Australia Policy to Paul Keating’s Redfern speech. It is a Long story – long in history and blood, and long in personal tragedy and resilience – that gives a voice to that compelling presence that has always been here but rarely heard. Wayne Long’s journey, like that of so many Australians with First Nations and Chinese roots, is one of humour, wonder, sadness, resilience. A triumph of magic and endurance. “Wayne is as strong on his long links back to the Middle Kingdom as he is on his Kamilaroi roots. Irrespective of the name of his ancestral village, he knows where he belongs. And just like every home – it doesn’t really matter where you’re from, it’s how you commit to where you’re at that truly counts.”

Download or read book The Horses Didn t Come Home written by Pamela Rushby and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story about a boy, a horse and the last great cavalry charge in history. In an army camp in a Middle Eastern desert, a young Australian soldier named Harry is saddling and grooming his horse, Bunty. She is sturdy and strong; an Australian waler who belongs to Harry's sister, Laura, back home in Australia. As Harry finishes the grooming he stands in front of Bunty. The two of them, horse and master, stand totally still. Then Harry swings up into the saddle and turns away from the camp into the desert. A few soldiers watch them as they ride out. No one says a word. It's their last ride together. The last great cavalry charge in history took place at Beersheba in the Sinai Desert in 1917. It was Australian soldiers and horses that took part in, and won, this amazing, unexpected, unorthodox victory. The men proudly claimed it was their great-hearted horses that won the day. But in the end, the horses didn't come home ...

Download or read book Migrant Nation written by Paul Longley Arthur and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on particular historical blind spots by telling stories of individuals and groups that did not fit the favoured identity mould, the essays in 'Migrant Nation' work within the gap between Australian image and experience and offer fresh insights into the ‘other’ side of identity construction. The volume casts light on the hidden face of Australian identity and remembers the experiences of a wide variety of people who have generally been excluded, neglected or simply forgotten in the long-running quest to tell a unified story of Australian culture and identity. Drawing upon memories, letters, interviews and documentary fragments, as well as rich archives, the authors have in common a commitment to give life to neglected histories and thus to include, in an expanding and open-ended national narrative, people who were cast as strangers in the place that was their home.
Download or read book The Voices of War written by Michael Caulfield and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawn from engagements ranging from World War I through to operations in East Timor and Iraq, these stories are taken from the Australians at War Film Archive, a collection of the memories of more than 2000 Australians who have served, both on the front line and at home. Some are unbelievably, unbearably tragic, even after sixty or seventy years; others are the golden memories of happy, albeit unusual, times. And, more often than not, they are stories that have never been shared with others, even family members. There are stories from winners of the Victoria Cross; from the POW camps of Asia and Europe; from the patrols of Vietnam, through to those who served as peacekeepers in Rwanda and Somalia. There are stories from nurses, from those who have volunteered to serve with aid agencies and stories of ordinary Australians caught up by circumstances and by duty, in wartime. These are their words.

Download or read book Judith Wright and Emily Carr written by Anne Collett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knitting together two fascinating but entirely distinct lives, this ingeniously structured braided biography tells the story of the lives and work of two women, each a cultural icon in her own country yet lesser known in the other's. Australian poet Judith Wright and Canadian painter Emily Carr broke new ground for female artists in the British colonies and influenced the political and social debates about environment and indigenous rights that have shaped Australia and Canada in the 21st century. In telling their story/ies, this book charts the battle for recognition of their modernist art and vision, pointing out significant moments of similarity in their lives and work. Although separated by thousands of miles, their experience of colonial modernity was startlingly analogous, as white settler women bent on forging artistic careers in a male-dominated world and sphere rigged against them. Through all this, though, their cultural importance endures; two remarkable women whose poetry and painting still speak to us today of their passionate belief in the transformative power of art.
