This is my Cultures story's and takes, they are true maybe if the author could find the history of the Kalkudunga (kalkadoon ) ''s . Some young aboriginal girl like me are looking for the storys if the Aborigines in Australia and I know it's a good story . Though I can't afford it BUT I know it is a good book.
