AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Morndi Munro provides a compelling insight into not only his life experiences as an Aboriginal person working on several cattle stations, but also of his admiration for his wife and the many other women who worked alongside him doing the same mustering jobs as the men. His story is about traditional ways and also about his culture, welfare pensions, missionaries, citizenship rights and his respect for the people with whom he worked.

Works about this Work

Writers on Country BlackWords : Writers on Country Anita Heiss , 2015 single work criticism
— Appears in: The BlackWords Essays 2015; (p. 3) The BlackWords Essays 2019;

In this essay Heiss not only illustrates the breakdown of stereotypes of what Indigenous relationship with land is, but she showcases the wealth of literature being penned nationally by writers who express the diversity of their experiences of 'country'. Whether it be their traditional lands, places they have chosen to relocate to; those that they or their families were removed to; places that people call home and/or connect to; and those who embrace a physical landscape. An historical, social and political space that renders them specifically and culturally significant to individuals, families and community.
