Description

"Told through the eyes of black and white, young and old, this is a story about fledgling Western Australian community in the early 1800s known as the 'friendly frontier'. Poetic, warm-hearted and bold, it is a story which shows that first contact did not have to lead to war."--Back cover.

Description

As Australian settlers come into contact with the Noongar people of Western Australia, young Noongar man Bobby Wabalanginy befriends the new arrivals and helps them to establish their colony, until conflicts gradually begin to arise.
