Thank you for inducting me into the world of Australian history. I learned a lot - both about the original custodians of the Australian land, and about the colonisers who displaced them, through the lens of someone who identifies as being of the former group. This conversation is valuable and the time is ripe for us all to take a step back and survey the wisdom of the ancients to help up live more in tune with nature.
Unfortunately, the author took an adversarial tone which put me off the book sometimes. I empathise with the emotion behind this and support the point of view presented, but I think combative language in a book aiming to raise awareness and enlighten is counterproductive.
Maybe a tad slow and some repetition.
