Viewing ofReference Material
Art students and others conducting research are welcome to make an appointment with us to view the works listed in the adjacent table.
It is also recommended for Europeans to use the online search system at KVK (Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog), in which all German and many European scholarly libraries list their available references. Sometimes the works are available for loan.
A list of further references about Australian art, which however are not yet in our reference collection, is also maintained and continually extended.

Cover Text
From Maralinga to the Murray, Alice to Adelaide, ten Aboriginal women tell their stories of walking through atomic clouds, being taken from their mothers in the process of 'Assimilation', traditional punishment and tribal life. Two even had time to play Test Cricket and enter the Miss Australia Quest. Extraordinary stories of survival in a land that wasn't harsh until the first white man declared the land uninhibited. These are Australian women to be reckoned with, women who reared children for tomorrow's Australia in defiance of a government whose policy was to 'smooth the pillow of a dying race'.
