Truganini - Journey through the apocalypse
 
(0 reviews)  

The inspiring and haunting tale of Truganini, the aboriginal woman who became an icon for a monumental tragedy - the so-called extinction of the original people of Tasmania.

As a child, Cassandra Pybus heard stories from her ancestors of an old Aboriginal woman who had wandered across their farm on Bruny Island in the 1850s and 1860s. It was not until much later that the renowned author discovered that this woman was Truganini and that she had been walking across the country of her clan, the Nuenonne. In this biography she examines original eyewitness accounts to write Truganini's extraordinary story in full.
