[http://www.cdu.edu.au/cdupress/books/far-country.htm] This fifth edition of the classic history has been revised to bring the Territory story into the 21st Century. A.T. Yarwood, on the first (1982) edition of Far Country: Powell has achieved an outstanding success. He writes with economy, power and humanity of all the main phases of the Territory's history, starting with the coming of the Aborigines. He moves easily from the broad sweep of the geographical and political context to the sharp focus of personality and action. Don Garden on the fourth (2000)edition. This is now effectively a classic history. Far Country is a fascinating and admirable history of the Northern Territory. With commanding sweep, Powell places this remote outpost within the broader perspective of world events, whether it be expanding Asian empires, European trading relations and wars, or South Australian and federal politics. It ranges broadly over the expected themes of a regional history, Aboriginal society. European exploration and the early European colonial settlements, race relations, the struggle to establish viable industries, urban settlements, politics, local cultural elements, literature and some of the significant individuals. But the context of the Territory adds piquancy to the story because of its environmental and human uniqueness. To an observer from the south, it is a far country. Alan Powell is Emeritus Professor of History at Charles Darwin University. In addition to Far Country, he is the author of Patrician Democrat, The Shadow's Edge, War By Stealth, The Third Force and was the General Editor of The Northern Territory Dictionary of Biography, Volume 1.

It was hot. There was sudden stillness in the late afternoon air and the surface of the small waterhole shone with unnatural smoothness. Fresh pig tracks at water's edge suggested pigs just gone. Two bubbles popped to the surface near the edge of the pool; just decaying vegetation, said my mind. I should have smelt crocodile! What is it about the Northern Territory that fascinates? I have only to mention it's name in conversation and people turn to listen. Why, for 180 years, has it drawn people from all over to come, stay longer than they imagined and, often, never leave? This book is a memoir of a family's life in a remote aboriginal community, in Australia's Northern Territory, something the equivalent of remote Canada or Alaska, where few people go. The place Oenpelli, (now Gunbalanya) is near Kadadu National Park, made famous in Crocodile Dundee. It tells of changing world as a missionary family and an aboriginal community become part of modern Australia This our family's story, growing amongst the people, animals and places and colours of this this strange land, alongside an aboriginal community going through its own changes; citizenship, alcohol, uranium mining, land rights, outstation development, and community self management. It is a memoir of growing up in one of the most isolated parts of Australia - in a small aboriginal missionary community in the Northern Territory, something the equivalent of the remote Canada or Alaska. It is the landscape featured in the movie Crocodile Dundee. It tells of the huge change in this place in the last half century with the coming of land rights and aboriginal self determination. It also tells of my mother and fathers lives and Christian beliefs which motivated their contribution to this change. It is a story of my memories and love for this remote and beautiful place, in which I lived as a child then worked as an adult and of many NT characters who gave me the memories.It is also the story of me working as an adult across many parts of the NT and about the hardy, outlandish characters that inhabit this place. It also tells of my own experience of surviving attack by a large crocodile in a remote swamp It also provides a foundation for my novels in the Crocodile Spirit Dreaming Series. The places in these books are the places in which I lived and worked and many of the stories came little changed from people I knew. In particular my experience in surviving a crocodile attack of a large saltwater crocodile, which mauled my leg as told in this book forms part of the central role of the crocodile as a predator in this novel series. The role of my father in opening road transport including building a crossing of the East Alligator River, developing outstations for aboriginal communities, learning to fly on missionary wages and establishing an aviation service along with assisting the aboriginal peoples of this land to gain royalties from mining is a story that deserves to be told as a major part of NT history. Along with his tireless work the contribution of many others is also an essential part of the story.

Most of the dramatic movements recorded in the book occurs in the MacArthur River region of the Northern Territory, with Borroloola as the rendevous for the principal characters: and the story of a fateful encounter with the aboriginals is quite a strong piece of realistic writing.

Eileen Cummings is a member of the Northern Territory Stolen Generations. This case study traces her life story and journey of healing. It also explores how her experiences as a member of the Stolen Generations has affected her family. Born on the Mainoru River, Central Arnhem Land in 1943, Eileen had a happy childhood growing up with her extended family on Mainoru Station. In 1948 her life changed forever when she was forcibly removed from her home and family according to the Commonwealth Government policies of the day. Eileen was taken to live at the Methodist Mission on Croker Island from 1948 to 1960. Eileen experienced some happy times on Croker, but she always grieved for her mother and country. Eileen first reconnected with her mother Florrie in 1962. For Eileen reconnecting with her mother, family and country would be a journey of healing that continues today. How this journey has impacted on Eileen's entire family is told through the experiences of her daughter Raelene and Granddaughter Grace.On Crocker Island Eileen's most important relationships were with the other children, but one by one they were unexpectedly 'taken away' from her and moved to other parts of Australia. Despite the constant grief and trauma of broken relationships Eileen's resilience enabled her to do well at school and complete her secondary education in Darwin and then tertiary studies in Brisbane 1961-1963. Eileen's educational success underpinned a long and distinguished professional career. In 1964 she returned to the Northern Territory as its first Indigenous early childhood teacher. Later, while her own family grew, Eileen went on utilise her community negotiation and engagement skills with great success in a variety of Northern Territory Government policy areas. Australia's Stolen Generations is a blight on its history. Its impact then and now on those removed from their families and the generations who followed is ongoing and profound. The Cummings Family's story illustrates how they have lived with and overcome this traumatic event by keeping family close and reclaiming their culture through their connections to country. It is a story of love, resilience, and courage.
