Full Description
Sydney has a rich and complex Aboriginal heritage, hidden within the burgeoning, bustling city. But when you know where and how to look, the layers of a vibrant culture and turbulent history emerge. "Aboriginal Sydney" is both a guide book and an alternative social history told through 50 places of significance to the city's Indigenous people. The sites, and their accompanying stories and photographs, evoke Sydney's ancient past and celebrate the living Aboriginal culture of today. Places to visit include: rock art and middens in national parks; places of early contact and conflict around the harbour; sites of 'civilising experiments' in the west; places of protest, civil rights action and community pride in Redfern and La Perouse; cultural centres, galleries, museums and theatres.
