Noongar Mambara Bakitj

Anthony Roberts

4.2/5 ( ratings)

A young man follows a kangaroo track deep into the old people’s country. Along the way he meets some spirit creatures who allow him to go on. But after he has hunted down the kangaroo, one mambara is angry and demands a fight . All day they fight, until the Noongar discovers he is a magic person and defeats the mambara.
This book is inspired by a story Bob Roberts told the linguist Gerhardt Laves at Albany, Western Australia, around 1931. It has been workshopped in a series of community meetings, which included some contemporary family of both those men.
