From the award-winning author of Benang, and his Aunty Hazel, comes this monumental history of the south coast Noongar people of Western Australia. Kayang – meaning, respectfully, Old Lady – was born in 1925. Through her candid voice comes the story of her people and her country, interwoven with traditional tales.
