R: Jandamarra's Rebellion, Rocks & Rivers, Radio and Religion

Tomorrow I'd like to tell you the story of Jandamarra - a brave Bunuba warrior who stopped the whites in the Kimberley region. We'll most probably begin with Rocks and Rivers to get the background on geography and then I will take the stage to talk about the rebellion. If we have time we'll try to cover the remaining "R" topics:

1. Radio

We have already seen what the wireless was like at the beginning of 20th century, with its aspiration to become the "new BBC". Follow the link above to learn more.









I'm not that much interested in names, dates and details. Instead concentrate on the impact that radio has had on the community in a country where many citizens live in very remote areas.

2. Religion

3. The Rabbit Proof Fence (the history of introducing new species: sheep and rabbits)

4. rocks and mountains

5. rivers (Murray-Darling)
