Nemarluk - Paperback

by Ion Idriess (Author)

Nemarluk, one of the most feared Aboriginal renegades in the north of Australia, had vowed to rid his land of all intruders. This is the story of the last few years of his life and his extraordinary battle with the tracker, Bul-Bul, brought in by the Northern Territory Police in a final desperate attempt to put an end to Nemarluk's fight.

Jack Idriess understood the depth of Nemarluk's hatred for the Japanese and the white intruders who had come, unasked, into his people's tribal lands of which he was chief. It was not only Nemarluk's desire to protect his people and the lands from the invaders, it was also his obligation and duty. - Beverly Eley, Ion Idriess
