BiographyHistory

Barbara Armytage, an Aboriginal woman and poet, grew up in Dubbo, New South Wales. When she was ten years old, the family of thirteen children moved to Balmain, Sydney. Struggling most of her life with her Aboriginality, it was only after the death of her husband in 1990, that she discovered her Koori bloodline.
