In their startling new book, Steven and Evan Strong challenge the "out-of-Africa" theory. Based on fresh examination of both the DNA and archeological evidence, they conclude that modern humans originated from Australia, not Africa.The original Australians (referred to by some as Aborigines ), like so many indigenous peoples, are portrayed as "backward" and "primitive." Yet, as the Strongs demonstrate, original Australians had a rich culture, which may have sown the first seeds of spiritua...

The Biblical narrative of the Tower Babel with all people speaking one shared language, is no longer a myth or legend, but a hand-written fact. Frederic Slater had in his possession all of the symbols and marks of this ancient language which gave him the ability to correctly translate not only the ancient engravings and paintings in Australia, but the whole world. This language was called Soul/Spirit Language and was the most sublime and Divine tongue ever spoken by humans. (Steve Strong)

Thomas Keneally

Following a lifetime observing Australia and its people, Tom Keneally turns inwards to reflect on what has been important to him.'When I was born in 1935 I grew up, despite the Depression and World War II, with a primitive sense of being fortunate . . . The utopian strain was very strong . . . if we weren't to be a better society, if we were simply serfs designed to support a system of privilege, what was the bloody point?'Thomas Keneally has been ...

Bruce Pascoe

Convincing Ground is a wide ranging, personal and powerful work which resonates with historical and contemporary Australian debates about identity, dispossession, memory and community. For Pascoe, the Australian character was not forged at Gallipoli, Eureka and the back of Bourke, but in the more satanic furnace of Murdering Flat, Convincing Ground and Werribee. He knows we can't reverse the past, but we can bring our soul in from the fog of delusion. He proposes a way forward, be...
