About the Author
Steve Hawke grew up in Melbourne but found his way to the Northern Territory and then to the Kimberley as a nineteen-year-old in 1978. Captivated by the country, the history and the people, he stayed for almost fifteen years working for Aboriginal communities and organisations. He now lives in the hills outside Perth, but continues his strong association with the Kimberley, returning most years. Steve is a non-Indigenous collaborator and his writings on the Kimberley include Noonkanbah (1989), Barefoot Kids (2007), a children s novel set in Broome, and the play Jandamarra that premiered at the Perth International Arts Festival in 2008, and toured the Kimberley in 2011.
Kim Farmer is the daughter of football legend Polly Farmer, and patron of the Graham (Polly) Farmer Foundation. Kim is a Noongar woman and has extensive experience working in a number of industries, including law; Native Title and Land Heritage; government; and not-for-profit Aboriginal organisations. Kim is currently a Magistrate of the Children s Court of WA.Also by Steve Hawke
