Sleeping with the Enemy

on BBC Radio 4 FM

3/3. Drovers'Boys. Up to the 1950s, cohabitation between Aboriginal Australians and white Australians was deemed a criminal offence. But in the brutal cattle country of the Northern Territory, Aboriginal women were often taken by force and disguised as men to evade the authorities. Working on remote cattle stations, they became known as the drovers' boys. Linda Pressly goes deep into the outback to explore the story of those violent and exploitative times. Producer Tanya Datta
