| Description |
Deals with the displacement of Aboriginal people from the land that had been home for thousands of generations to unfamiliar country in the goldfields of Western Austrailia.Atomic testing at Maralinga in the 1950`s and 1960`s forced them from their land.Their story,although unique, is strikingly similar to that of other displaced people worldwide. |
