A comprehensive military history of frontier conflict in Australia. Covering the first 50 years of British occupation, it examines in detail how both sides fought on the frontier and how Aborigines developed a form of warfare differing from tradition.
Rachel Perkins journeys across the country to explore the bloody battles fought on Australian soil and the war that established the Australian nation, seeking to change the narrative of the nation.
Aboriginal people managed the land in a far more systematic and scientific fashion than we have ever realised, with an extraordinarily complex system of land management using fire, the life cycles of native plants, and the natural flow of water to ensure plentiful wildlife and plant foods throughout the year.
