BiographyHistory

When he was around ten years old Keendahn was taken from his parents. He and some other boys were taken from their homelands along the Nerang River and forced into becoming a tracker for the Native Police Force. They escaped from the brutal training camp in Rockhampton. It took three months for them to walk the 550 kilometres home.
