The noted archeologist Josephine Flood tells the story of Australian Aboriginal history and society from its distant beginnings to the present day. The wisdom and paintings of the Dreamtime to the first contacts between Europeans and indigenous Australians, right through to modern times are covered. The resilience and adaptability of the Aboriginal people over millennia is one of the great human stories of all time. First edition.
