Seven true stories of travel and adventure, compiled and written by JULIA KEAY. 5: Scarcely a Sacrifice
The story of Daisy Bates with Narrator Edward de Souza 'The pioneers of Western
Australia were noble men and women, and nearly all of them were above reproach and more than kindly in their treatment of the Aboriginal. But it was a kindness that killed as surely as cruelty would have done. The Australian native can withstand all the ravages of nature - fiendish droughts and sweeping floods, horrors of thirst and enforced starvation: but he cannot withstand civilisation.'
