Then there is no emotional, intellectual gap between representatives of civilised mankind and representatives of an allegedly primitive race. 2. That, despite the pious suggestions of various governments that equality exists between whites and aboriginals, society is simply not ready to grant a rightful place to a native of intelligence, ability and imagination. 3. Though the lack of opportunity not of brainpower, is the reason why most aboriginals are able to take only the most humblest manual work. Roy Saunders was the only member of The Australian Aboriginal Race to ever have been commissioned as an officer in the Armed Forces. Men who served under him their used to call in the best officer in the world. Militaria -- Australia Very Good Price: $30.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0224924  Bookseller: Syber's Books Postage Rates     We, the Aborigines Lockwood, Douglas Cassell Melbourne 1963 First Edition 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Tall Illustrated Boards 1.0 kg; 260 pages, illustrated with part page and full-page black-and-white photographs, and a couple of drawings by Jolliffe. "I've tried this book to show the Australian Aborigines as human beings rather than scientific phenomena, as people rather than things. I have attempted to tell at least one facet of their lives in each story in the hope that, taken as a whole, a fairly comprehensive picture will emerge. I have talked personally with most of the men and women whose photographs are reproduced. But where direct speech is attributed to any of them, it is mine and not theirs. The word "blackfeller" is not used is any derogatory sense (sic) they use it constantly themselves." -- the author's note page 7.

A term in the aboriginal basic idiom which signifies the one is wandering aimlessly around and living as one wishes to live. It is the story of my life against a background of the real Australian bush, with the white and, more especially, the black people whom I like to refer to as my stone-age cobbers. Theirs was a strange life which was ever governed by tradition, and just as their coming into contact with our way of life upset their tribal plan, so did many of us whites blend into their way of living and end up by becoming content to Lie in the sun. Local History -- Northern Terr Very Good Price: $14.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0225061  Bookseller: Syber's Books Postage Rates     Flynn of the Inland Idriess, Ion L.
