| book description |

Donald Thomson at 10 years old was a lone figure in Melbourneâ€™s Bayside with its billabongs and creeks meandering to the sea. In his â€˜Naturalistâ€™s Diaryâ€™, he recorded his collection of wildflowers to wattles, seabirds to tiny blue wrens, mammals to reptiles to fish and to insects of every shape and hue. By 16 he was part-time editor of a national nature magazine. Â At 28, as Australiaâ€™s first home-grown anthropologist, he met the only people who truly shared his worldview: the First Nations of northern and central Australia. He wrote, â€˜We learned much about their language, social life, and customs, and of their elaborate rituals and tabusâ€¦and we grew to love these people.â€™ Â It was this love for a world threatened with extinction that drove Donald Thomson for the rest of his life, fighting for justice through a threated invasion and the reality of a hostile and unrepentant occupation.
