Early last century, Alice Duncan-Kemp grew up on a remote Queensland cattle station. Later she would write down her childhood memories of learning from the Aboriginal women and men of the Mithaka people at home on their own Country. In her books, she evoked a rich parallel universe of storytelling and lore, which she felt privileged to witness. What are we to make of 'Alice's dreaming' today? Join historian Tom Griffiths in conversation with Anna Clark as they uncover the turmoil of a complex and tragic frontier and celebrate the remarkable story of survival and cultural resilience of the Mithaka people.
