- Love these stories
Thank you for finding & reading these stories with your lovely voice.
I have to say that ‘aboriginals’ is not a word, even though it is used all throughout white Australian history. Aboriginal is an adjective, so you can say aboriginal people, or otherwise use aborigine for a single person, and aborigines for two or more people. It’s just one of those things I learnt at University that I’d love to share with others.
Keep telling these great stories!

Podcast Addict5a year agoRachelR- I love it.
I so wish I was there to witness these things. Listening to you and a fertile imagination is as good as it can be for me.
Every day I think about what the transportees would be doing.
I have been so privileged to be able to read and research the beginnings of The AACo at Tahlee, and spend countless hours investigating and imagining their works.
One might call it an obsession.
Thank you for sharing your passion.
