Review
It took many years for me to get the real meaning of this song: how Aboriginal women became working companions and de facto wives of the men who took great mobs of cattle across the Australian continent in the late 19th and early 20th century. The men were known as Drovers, also Ringers or Stockmen (USA: Cowboy); the women weren't supposed to be there. But, under the circumstances (and archaic laws: NT, WA) the women, superb at riding horses and handling cattle, had their hair cut and wore men's clothes to be passed off as 'Drover's Boys'.
I was introduced to the recordings of Ted Egan in my teens by my mate Ferg, whom I shall pass this extraordinary book on to. Drover's Boy was one song of Egan's that has remained with me for many years, and it is through my most recent research into more about Outback Lore and Aboriginal history (post Euro colonisation) that I begin to understand the debt we owe to our Indigenous sisters and brothers.

LCCC resources 2024 correspondence I love your explanations of the program and can hear the many things you are achieving in embedding First Nations perspectives. I think the next goal to work on is to make it visible in the room, which is as simple as adding perhaps tablecloths of Aboriginal fabrics, coolomons and baskets, and lots of flag colours and natural resources throughout. I’ve included a few photos as inspiration. You have a huge amount of resources on the USB given to you, here are some additional resources we discussed. Here is the private Facebook group if you and your team would like to join. I share lots of ideas, (and encourage centres to share their setups as well!) events, professional development and links here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wayipungitjsupportwesternmelbourne Things to do: Look at using and displaying different art styles in each room. This can be by fabric, childrens art exploration or artworks. It is best to avoid downloading artworks and printing, I’ve included some links to affordable art in the form of posters and postcards. Traditional art in this area is geometric shapes, contemporary art incorporates lots of different elements including dots.
