This is your front row pass to the world’s most intriguing storytellers, as powered by you.
This week, say hello to Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood, who recently joined me live-on-stage at Wurdi Youang, Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (The Dome) which you can now find on Substack.
Bruce Pascoe is the best selling author of ‘Dark Emu’ - which ignited a conversation about the 'hunter-gatherer' tag given to pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians, as it rebutted colonial myths that justified dispossession of land.
When Dark Emu was adopted by Australia like a new anthem, Bruce found himself at the centre of a national debate that often focussed on the wrong part of the story. In their new book Black Duck: A Year At Yumburra, Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Williams describe what happened next…
In this SOLD OUT and LIVE conversation, Bruce and Lyn sit down with me to talk about the consequences and responsibility of disrupting Australia’s history with a new (ancient) story.
Presented in partnership with The Book Bird.
