This story of the battle to secure a small living area on a giant cattle station provides a glimpse of the contemporary colonial reality of Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. Beginning with the violent dispossession and resettlement of the Alyawarre people, Lyon and Parsons describe the indispensable role of Aboriginal labour in the building of the station, the fight to improve industrial and living conditions, and the decades of struggle to achieve secure title to a suitable place to live.
