ABSTRACT

For many Australians, how we think about the histories of our places, and our connection to them, is in flux. There is a growing depth of understanding of what it means to live on a land stolen from its people, a people who constitute one of the oldest living cultures in the world. Our places may be home, they are places of belonging, and shape who we are: but our places are also deeply troubled by the past, in ways that remain unresolved.
