Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.Interior and binding are still very good.

In 1926, Aboriginal elders permitted Lallie Matbar, a young woman of the Wongai People, Linden-Laverton area East Goldfields, to marry Afghan cameleer Jack Akbar.

Under the Aboriginal Act 1905, however, their relationship was illegal.

For two years, Jack repeatedly petitioned the Western Australian Government for permission to marry Lallie. The government denied permission and sought to hunt the couple down and separate them forever.

This book is the story of two outlaws and a chilling reminder of a chapter in Australia's political and social history. Institutional internment, flight to South Australia, arrest and extradition, harassment and a lifetime of scrutiny, the file on Lallie was only closed by her death in 1970.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain images of people who have passed away.
