Due Inheritance: Reviving the cultural and economic wellbeing of First Australians

Ted Egan AO

ISBN 978-0-9803904-6-9 |  B 198 x 128 mm | 149 pages | 160 gms 

In the eyes of the world, Australia’s moral standing is inextricably connected to the plight of First Australians—the unhealthiest, the poorest, the least employed, the most illiterate, the worst housed, the least trained, the most imprisoned people in the land. 

‘Desperately, desperately, the Australian community needs to investigate innovative solutions to chronic, systemic problems. We need to strip away the prejudice and platitudes and well-meaning ignorance of the past and go exploring fresh ideas—with sincerity and honesty.’ 

‘This is exactly what Ted Egan has done, with a set of radical proposals to re-invigorate the Aboriginal community through the attainment of economic strength and a restored cultural integrity. This courageous and clear-headed volume deserves a hearing from all engaged citizens across the continent, who have the power to change things.’

From the foreword by Dr David Headon

Strict Rules: The Blackfella - Whitefella Tour

Andrew McMillan
Published May 2008, RRP $24.95


ISBN 978-09803904-2-1 | B 198 x 128mm | 320 pages | 310 gms

In the Western Desert of Australia the land takes hostages. Freedom is regained slowly, often imperceptibly: vanities must be shed, wisdom must be drawn, humility learned. Time moves forward, but only in grinding tectonic shifts, unnoticed by squinting intruders with too much noise in their heads.

Twenty-two years ago the young men in Midnight Oil were held hostage by the land. It was only for four weeks, but none of us was ever the same again.

from the foreword by Rob Hirst




An Intruder's Guide to East Arnhem Land

Andrew McMillan
Published November 2007, RRP $29.95

Winner of the Chief Minister's NT Book of the Year 2009
Shortlisted for the Chief Minister's NT History Book Award 2008
ISBN 978-0-9803904-1-4 | B 198 x 128 mm | 320 pages | 310 gms

Andrew McMillan’s An Intruder’s Guide To East Arnhem Land is part history, part journalism, part literature, part love story with a people and a place. The writing is both edgy and contemporary; a narrative of history in remote Australia where the echoes of the past continue to resonate with us today. Passionate, sensitive, witty and surprising, this book will give you a sense of Australia and national identity you have never known before.

Arnhem Land: where the first (or even second or third) language is not English and you need to ask permission before travelling across country; where you have to demonstrate respect and observation of the laws of the land and its peoples but none of it is written down. After a lifetime of growing up in Australia it feels eerily like foreign travel – but without ever leaving the country.

Andrew McMillan has spent decades visiting Arnhem Land, meeting, talking but mainly listening to people in a place that few outsiders visit. This book offers a unique insight.
