I’m reading Jackie French’s new book Let the Land Speak. It’s not a children’s book, but an Australian history. You’ll find everything that you were taught in primary school in Australian History was incorrect. Where did the First Nation (indigenous) people come from? Were they uncivilized and lived hard? (Jackie calls the land without European disturbance a ‘Living Larder’ – partly deliberately planted.) Did the First Fleet actually starve waiting for the Second Fleet? Were there no farmers? Why were there regular Depressions in the first 200 years? It’s a real eye-opener. I keep excitedly reading bits out to John.
