ON ORDER

Jandamarra

By Mark Greenwood About · Illustrated by Terry Denton About

He emerged from the cave of bats with the name given to him by his people. He was Jandamarra – a man of power who could appear and disappear like a ghost.
Set in the Kimberley region in north-west Australia, this is the story of a young warrior born to lead. To the settlers, he was an outlaw to be hunted. To the Bunuba, he was a courageous defender of his country.
Mark Greenwood’s text and Terry Denton’s watercolour illustrations bring to life this story of conflict and divided loyalties – giving a unique insight into an extraordinary man and a tragic but important part of Australia’s frontier history.
