Summary "True stories of "black fellas" and "white fellas" - indigenous and non-indigenous people - living and working together on a station in the Top End outback buffalo country of the Northern Territory, Australia. True tales about how it was three, four and five decades ago. After 150 years of this lifestyle both they and their lands and how it used to be were "hurled" into a "firestorm" of change. Overnight they stepped from an old era into a new, challenging and demanding world. What happened to them and their lands, along the way, is still happening and what will happen to them both in the future, depends on if we get it right or if we get it wrong!" -- book cover
