Baring all and bearing all - Why, oh why did i write this book?

This book was written on Whadjuk Boodja, specifically on the banks of Derbal Yarrigan – home of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation – the traditional custodians of this land on which I have lived, explored, played and worked, for over 50 years. I acknowledge the expertise and insight that Noongar people have for country, and hope that a future Australia begins to champion our first nations peoples. I also acknowledge that when I speak of resilience in my memoir, there is no greater example than the world’s oldest living culture.

I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging across Noongar country and all traditional countries across Australia.
