Through Teddy’s Eyes

A year in two worlds

In 1971-72, as a young migrant in Tennant Creek, Faith found herself unexpectedly drawn into the heart of the Warumungu community. Working alongside their respected leader, Teddy Plummer, she witnessed his unwavering determination to secure his people’s place and identity in a society that had long oppressed them.

Through Teddy’s eyes is the author’s personal account of this pivotal time, navigating the stark conflicts between traditional Warumungu ways and the dominant white legal system—and the pervasive racism that cast a shadow over their lives in makeshift camps.

Through her friendship with Teddy, Faith was privy to customs and tribal matters rarely shared with outsiders. This memoir is a testament to Teddy Plummer, a man revered in Tennant Creek for his tireless efforts and the hope he sought to inspire for a brighter future—a hope his children still hold dear.

Through Teddy’s eyes offers a rare glimpse into a crucial period for the Aboriginal people of Tennant Creek and will resonate with anyone  interested in Australian cultural and historical memoirs.

The Coconut Kid

A memoir of a stolen child

ISBN 978-1-923680-18-0
PAPERBACK

In his book Coconut Kid David Mills tells some of his stories. David was born in 1941 in Cranbrook, WA. At the age of four months he was taken from his family and spent the next 8 years at Parkerville Children’s Home not even aware that he had older siblings.

He started his schooling there but at the age of 8 was returned to his family where his education continued.

He began his working life at the tender age of 13 and worked, mostly as a shearer, in a number of areas of Australia. David’s stories are informative, funny and gut wrenching.

Especially as he tells of his wife’s illness and last days. He is frank about his life and its bad patches. However, you can’t but admire the man he has become, despite all he has experienced.

About the Author

David was taken from his family at 4 months old in 1941 when it was Government policy to put light-skinned part-Aboriginal children in institutions. He wasn’t reunited with his mother till he was 8. He struggled with schooling at Cranbrook in southern Western Australia and started his first job at age 14. David found his calling when he started shearing but his greatest gift is as a storyteller. With humour and remarkable honesty, David tells the stories of his life including the battle for his wife to take advantage of Australia’s first Voluntary Assisted Dying laws in Darwin in the 1990s.

PAPERBACK

From Here They Marched

THE MITCHAM AIF CAMP, LOCATED IN WHAT IS NOW THE ADELAIDE SUBURB OF COLONEL LIGHT GARDENS, WAS THE TRAINING GROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAN VOLUNTEERS WHO ENLISTED TO FIGHT FOR THE AIF IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR.

The camp, opened in bare paddocks in early 1915 after earlier camps had proved inadequate, overcame significant early difficulties to become what was proudly claimed to be ‘the model camp for the Commonwealth’.

From Here They Marched tells the story of the camp and how men from all walks of civilian life were brought together and prepared for the discipline of military life and for war.

It shows how the military authorities approached the task of also meeting the physical and social needs of as many as 4400 men at a time, all newly away from their home and families, and facing an uncertain future.

The surviving memories of those who passed through the camp, newspaper reports, the few remaining documents from the camp, and contemporary photographs are used to bring this vibrant, ever changing community of men to life.

The part played by other military training camps in and near Adelaide which were used for short periods during the war is also described. This includes the Morphettville and Ascot Park/Oaklands camps where the men of the earliest contingents did their training before taking part in the landings at Gallipoli.

Mitcham camp is an important part of the historic landscape of Adelaide, and the final chapter presents a case for the preservation of the memory of the camp in Colonel Light Gardens.

PAPERBACK

1837 Colonel Light’s Vision for Adelaide

 

Postulation and Testing a Preemptive Model Plan Adapted by Light for the Capital of South Australia

Colonel William Light’s history has been the subject of several admirable publications, but none have satisfactorily addressed the method he used in designing, surveying and laying out the plan of the City of Adelaide on the topography of the site chosen on December 31, 1836. Although evidence supports there being a preemptive Model Plan produced in London before that date, the connection has generally been missed on how such a plan, following the pattern of many colonial antecedents, could have been simply cut up to fi t the topography of the chosen site.

In postulating the form a Model Plan might have taken by reverse engineering the final plan, it becomes obvious that this was the method used by Light to lay out the plan of the Capital. It was not done in a week from January 3, 1837 as Stretton suggested, but by February 7 the basic cutting up had been formulated and sketched by Light from Green Hill.

The “NO” Test

 

and other approaches for addressing domestic violence

The “no” test is simple. A man passes it if he graciously accepts “no” from his partner. If he attempts to persuade her to change her mind, he fails.

This book will be of interest to anybody who is concerned about the problem of domestic violence.

The man who is abusive and the woman who suffers the abuse are often misrepresented. The “No” test provides alternatives to these misrepresentations so that a man can be held accountable for all his actions and a woman’s ever present resistance to oppression is recognised.

The “No” test is also a resource for those in the helping professions with discussions on the ethics of practice, exploring the importance of language and a chapter on the crafting of questions – the all important key to therapeutic conversations.

Finally, the ideas are demonstrated in practice in therapeutic conversations with four composite individuals, two of whom are a married couple. The four represent the diverse individuals the authors have encountered in many years of practice.

The book aims to expose how the problem of domestic violence is perpetuated by its frequent misrepresentations and in so doing provide a better understanding of domestic violence for the benefit of all.

Includes therapeutic conversations with individuals to illustrate the book’s core concepts.
