I DID IT!!!
I have finished this epic insightful look at who this awsome aboriginal person a saw on TV s few times was. I did find the book hard going in the density, issues and the real insight going on with Native Title and the raw deal that our first Australians have been dealt and in large part have accepted. That made me feel guilty amd ashamed. I found it sad that the ideas Tracker had most never saw the light, if they did the world would be changed for the better. It took abit to get into it due to the different cultural way of telling the story but found it more fulfilling than the standard western linear way of telling someone story. This was more raw, beautiful, funny and eye opening this way.
Well worth the read.
