Oooh wow .... I've learnt sooo much. What i loved most :
1. detailed information teaching me the importance of Afghans with their camels .... in transporting essential supplies throughout central Aust .... travelling with no maps .... just an innate understanding of this environment and love of their camels.
2. they had a great love, respect for Aboriginal Australians.
3. This amazing story of an interfaith marriage shows that adaptability and love .... is a strong force in bringing people together. Respect was the key.
4. Vivid visuals of the Afghani clothing and brightly coloured turbans gave me an insight into their culture.
This is a brilliant story .... with so many visuals .... I could imagine living and travelling with these adventurous men .... from insights narrated from a woman's perspective.
BRILLIANT WORK KOALA AUDIOBOOKS .... I value the knowledge given me from this story.
As an elder myself, i found this to be very emotional, hearing family's speak up about the royal commission into deaths in custody, be prepared to be moved and heart broken, and ashamed of what our country is turning in to. I recommend this story to anyone that wants or needs to hear about what goes on behind closed doors. It's important that the truth be told, and people have the opportunity to listen & learn. To change the future, we must look at the errors of the past.
just hearing this elder, talk about living life in the old days and surviving a crocodile attack was amazing, it's how he survived by adapting to new ways of life that i found inspiring, he has a beautiful soul and a positive attitude to life. He is an inspiration.
These stories from koala audiobooks have been eye opening in to things we would otherwise never hear the stories to.
I have been a regular customer for a year and have bought over 20 stories - i found this story took me on a journey across Australia hearing people in the Kimberley across to Cape York.
Listening to this audiobook, it was able to paint a visual of the words I was listening to, and feel as though I had been along side them on their journey.
