This is a pivotal story long overdue for the telling: how Aboriginal and European people interacted with each other following the British territorial invasion of 1826 for the next hundred years.
This is a pivotal story long overdue for the telling: how Aboriginal and European people interacted with each other following the British territorial invasion of 1826 for the next hundred years.
There has always been a wealth of documentary and oral history available to researchers prepared to write from a local history perspective, yet very few Australian historians have accepted this challenge. What has been lacking until quite recently is the sense among historians and the general Australian public that the history of Aboriginal-European relations, not only for the first few years of contact but for a period of many decades, is central to our nation's story.
A Journey Travelled addresses this historical gap, offering insights into the profound interactions between these communities. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intricate tapestry of our nation's past.

About the Author
Murray Arnold is an historian and former farmer. After forty-four years farming near Bruce Rock in Western Australia, during which time he also studied for his Bachelor degree, Arnold moved to Albany where he completed his PhD through the University of Western Australia. Arnold is involved with tutoring local Aboriginal High School students enrolled in the Follow the Dream program, and in 2013 spent three months in an impoverished and remote South African rural village doing similar work. He has lectured in Aboriginal History at the Albany Summer School and presented addresses on the topic to two seminars at the Albany campus of UWA, at two public meetings held at the Albany Public Library, and at the local branch of the University of the Third Age. He has presented at the Australian Historians Association conference, been interviewed several times by the local ABC and community radio stations, spoken at professional development days for local teachers and given talks to students.
