Under a Bilari Tree I Born: The memoir of a resilient First Nations woman of the Pilbara (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781760995645)

This groundbreaking publication brings to light the hidden experience of First Nations women in regional and remote Australia.

Now available as a stunning new Indigenous Classic, Alice Bilari Smith's extraordinary journey embodies the strength and spirit of Australia's country women. Raised amidst the rugged beauty of the bush and the challenges of station life in the Pilbara, Alice mastered a range of skills, from cooking and sewing to mustering and dingo scalping. In Roebourne (the oldest town in the north west of Western Australia), Alice's commitment extended beyond her own children, as she played a pivotal role in establishing a Homemakers Centre for Aboriginal families. Alice was one of the indomitable women who shaped our communities, and who inspire by their example.
