AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Eric Thonemann managed The Elsey cattle station in the Northern Territory from 1914 until 1961. Buludja, an Aboriginal woman who spent her life at The Elsey, here provides a unique first person account of the motives and strength of the Mungari Aborigines. She creates a direct and pure insight into an important part of our Aboriginal heritage.' (Source: Fishpond website www.fishpond.com.au)
