Book of the Week

Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray by Anita Heiss is a story that everyone should read. It raises awareness of First Nations’ perspectives on the early days of white settlement and introduces the reader to the Wiradyuri language. Based on true events, it’s a story of romance, enduring love of Country, and an epic depiction of First People’s lives before and during white colonisation.  Besides being an engrossing story to follow, it also offers some important issues for reflection.
