How Australia was made: A talk with Bill Gammage and Jonathan Jones

12 Jan 2025
Description
For over a decade, award-winning author and historian Bill Gammage has uncovered a complex system of Aboriginal land management using fire and the life cycles of native plants.
Join Bill Gammage for a fascinating talk and learn about early European accounts of the vegetation between Kangaroo Valley and Pigeon House Mountain, how carefully it was made and managed by First Nation clans and how much European settlers owed to Aboriginal knowledge and guidance.
In the second half of this talk, Bill is joined by bagan bariwariganyan: echoes of country curator Jonathan Jones. Together they look at the lessons of the past and discuss how they can set us on the path for a better future, and what we are risking from ignoring First Nations knowledge on land management.
