'The conversation between Dr John Moriarty and me took place on Kaurna land and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. In this Duguid Lecture collection, the conversation replaces Dr Moriarty’s 1998 lecture ‘Aborigines in Australia -  personal challenges’. Sadly, there is no archived transcript of that lecture. Discussion began on 17 March 2016 and continued on the 18 March at the conclusion of the formalities surrounding the Flinders University 50^th Anniversary opening of the new Student Hub Project. While it was not our intention to recreate the Duguid Lecture that Dr Moriarty delivered in 1998 we did address some of the challenges faced by Aboriginal people from the 1930s to the present, guided by the overall theme of this collection – the long campaign – located in John Moriarty’s story of and reflection on hard-won success.'
