Daisy Bates, amateur anthrolopogist and officially designated
"Protector of Aboriginies" was well qualified to write this classic
on the Aboriginals of Australia.
On the fringe of the vast island continent of Australia live a few
millions of white people; in the vast desert regions far from the
coast live a few thousands of black aboriginals, the remnant of the
first inhabitants of Australia. The race on the fringe of the
continent has been there about a hundred years, and stands for
Civilization; the race in the interior has been there no man knows
how long, and stands for Barbarism. Between them a woman has lived
in a little white tent for more than twenty years, watching over
these people for the sake of the Flag, a woman alone, the solitary
spectator of a vanishing race. She is Daisy Bates, one of the least
known and one of the most romantic figures in the British Empire.
