This Friday 19th November Ronnie Nichols continues her gripping series as described below :
‘Ronnie Nichols will present Australians – Unsettled, the third of her talks on Indigenous Australians.
The story so far:
“Out of Africa” described the movement of peoples across Asia and into Northern Europe, and incorporated the Beachcomber Theory bringing people to more southern lands.
Ronnie’s second talk entitled “Arrival” provided evidence for human entry to Australia as long ago as 70,000 years.
The presentation on Friday briefly revisits and analyses the evidence presented so far and then progresses to the settling of Aboriginal people in the land, first described by the Greeks as “Terra Australis Nondum Cognita” and by the most recent colonisers as “Terra Nullius”.
The major part of the presentation will be 1788 onwards with references to past grievances as well as looking positively to the future through the eyes of the many people working towards recognition of the descendants of the First people. There will be music, dancing and stories – lots of them, including work being done now by committed, dedicated people from all walks of life.’

Ray Keipert
