In 1968, Hardy published The Unlucky Australians, with a foreword by Donald Horne and contributions by Vincent Lingiari, Aboriginal Union organiser Daniel Dexter, actor Robert Tudawali, and others, telling the story of the Gurindji people through personal narratives and the Gurindji Strike/Wave Hill walk-off.
