Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has inscribed inside page.

Why would the Church Missionary Society in faraway Victoria decide in 1906 to establish a mission to Aborigines in a tropical North Australian location where malaria, tuberculosis and leprosy were common, and the only available transport was an occasional boat or horseback?

This question so intrigued Murray Seiffert that he has sought answers from contemporary records.

In the centenary year of the formation of the Roper River Mission (Ngukurr), a review of the early years of the mission, begun by three white men from the south and three Indigenous missionaries from Queensland, was timely. (back cover)

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