Alice's Dreaming by Tom Griffiths is described as 'an astonishing work of history about a girl and the Indigenous world she encountered'. Alice Duncan-Kemp grew up on a remote Queensland cattle station and later wrote down her childhood memories of learning from Aboriginal women and men at home on their own Country. In the book, 'we glimpse the turmoil of a complex and tragic frontier, and a remarkable story of survival and cultural resilience'.
The book is due for publication on 11 August 2026.
Buried: Archaeology, Frontier Conflict and the Queensland Native Mounted Police by Heather Burke, Lynley A. Wallis and Bryce Barker 'is the first comprehensive study of the Queensland NMP [Native Mounted Police] from 1849 to the 20th century that explores all elements of frontier conflict, and which incorporates an archaeological and landscape approach, thereby providing a far more nuanced study than previous works'.
