Do you know how old is the culture of Aboriginal Australia? Some say it is 60,000 years. That is a very long time and archaeologists are finding evidence of this all the time. I have been to Lake Mungo which is near Mildura and the Murray River. It is now a dry expanse with no trees in the middle where the lake was. Did it dry up because of climate change or did something cataclysmic happen? On the edge of the lake are sand dunes and over the centuries middens of discarded shellfish are being exposed by the wind.Their story is oral so there is no written record of their lives. In this book you may read some of the stories, often to explain creation. The Australian Museum has many but they are no longer available online as the stories belong to the people retelling them.Then Captain Cook arrived and thousands died as the white man pushed further from the capital cities to find farming land and to run sheep. Now they are leaving the land because of the drought.

Do you like telling stories or listening to them? This book takes you by the hand and look at what was happening in post-war Australia. Do you have a grandparent who was growing up in this time? Have you ever asked them what it was like before television and big supermarkets? Where did they shop and how did they get there? Did they have to walk or catch a bus, a train or a tram? What appliances did they have in the home? Television didn’t come onboard for most people until after the 1956 Olympic Games. There are exercises to help you with your story of your relative plus questions you can use and a letter to invite them to tell their story. Maybe you know someone in your community who would like to help you. It’s all here.

Author Michael Mason has experienced the dangerous encounters of street life that are viewed as part of the game. Where every man is for himself — friend against friend for money and fame. This was the era when crime and violence were highlighted as a model for successful living. A period when no one dared to speak the truth about the destruction of the streets, gangs, drugs, and the harsh reality of prison life.After serving over 20 years in prison for a non-violent offense, he decided not to sit back idly and selfishly while young men foolishly and ignorantly mimicked his steps and made poor decisions that would, in the long run, destroy their futures. No one warned him about the path he chose and the detrimental effects that accompanied his decisions, so out of selflessness and a sincere concern for these young men, sons, brothers, future husbands, and fathers, Mr. Mason took it upon himself to expose the ugliness of “Street Life.”He wants teens and adolescents to know the truth about a life that is dressed in the fine apparel of riches and fame, but inwardly means a life of death, grief, embarrassment, imprisonment, and hopelessness. This book was written in hopes of saving at least one life, if not many more.
