Patrol in the Dreamtime by Colin Macleod

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to foredges and front preliminary pages. Sunning of pages.

In 1955, a young Colin Macleod went to the Northern Territory and took on the job of patrol officer, registering "full-blood" Aboriginals as wards of the State.

Colin Macleod looks back with rare and often shocking honesty at his travels through the Northern Territory, his encounters with tribal Indigenous Australians, drovers, cattle barons and dispossessed fringe dwellers.
