Hidden in Plain View by Paul Irish

Hidden in Plain View by Paul Irish

Contrary to what you may think, local Aboriginal people did not lose their culture and die out within decades of Governor Phillip's arrival in Sydney in 1788. Aboriginal people are prominent in accounts of early colonial Sydney, yet we seem to skip a century as they disappear from the historical record, re-emerging early in the twentieth century. What happened to Sydney's indigenous people between the devastating impact of white settlement and increased government intervention a century later?

"Paul Irish has breathed new life into people written out of history"

- STAN GRANT

 

"This landmark book will open your eyes to the  enduring Aboriginal history of Sydney, a story which was there all along, a story that changes everything." 

- GRACE KARSKENS
