No nation proves this better than the Bundjalung caught between the penal settlements of Port Macquarie and Moreton Bay, invaded by loggers, farmers, developers and tourists, their culture endures and even flourishes.
This book tells their inspiring story, the how and why of survival.

I cannot fault the efficiency of planet corrobee. Love the site and will definitely be buying again. Being a bundjalung woman I have found the book, which I only received this morning (thanks to aust post), will help me gain some more knowledge of my culture.
Thank you so much

As an archaeologist and anthropologist I was fascinated by the amount of study that has gone into this study. Unlike Malcolm Calleys work in the 1950s (Calley, M J C, 1959, Bandjalung Social Organisation, Unpublished thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Sydney.) Hoff does not attempt to recover the 'Old Rule' in depth. Instead she recounts the many and varied ways in which the Old Rule still affects daily life 70 years later and how the Bundjalung have adapted to modern times. A very interesting piece of work.
