Paperback. Zustand: New. First Edition. When Australian surfer Nat Young won the World Championship at Ocean Beach, San Diego, in 1966, his home break near Sydney would momentarily become the centre of the surfing universe as board design adapted to a more 'radical' style of surfing. Ten-year-old Stephen Cooney and his older brother Butch were friends of the Young brothers and would become deeply involved in the shortboard evolution. By the age of 14, Stephen had left school to pursue his love of surfing fulltime, eventually joining Albe Falzon for the filming of the seminal surf film Morning of The Earth. He was only 15-years-old when he became the first known person to surf Uluwatu in Bali. Stephen's account of his childhood and life as a grom is in turn both funny and poignant, as he reveals some of his family's tragedies and struggles. The stories of filming MOTE and those early days at Tracks will surely one day make it to the silver screen. All three acts of Stephen Cooney's early life will entertain and enlighten you, and serve as a companion piece to other works celebrating the 50th anniversary of the seminal surf film Morning of the Earth. ". growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, and experiencing the exciting days of shortboard development, then being swept up in the creative approach to surf filmmaking that became the perennial movie Morning of The Earth, and finally, working on a ground-breaking surfing commentary known as Tracks magazine: these were three distinct eras in which I was the grommet ." 224 pages.…

Author: Peter Mcconchy Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 0 Between the covers of this captivating publication from Cyclops Press is a story demonstrating the positive power and importance of fire on the Australian landscape told by Cape York Indigenous Elders and Community Leaders. The tradition of managing the land with fire sits in a stark contrast to the widely held view that fire is to be feared, not easily controlled, and is essentially destructive. In a similar vein to The Biggest Estate on Earth by Bill Gammage, Fire challenges long held perceptions and helps us understand traditional land care and management - this time from the Aboriginal perspective. In these pages the Elders explain to us "we need fire because Australia is a fire nation". Author Peter McConchie reminds us of the continual strength and connectedness of Australian Indigenous people to their land and culture. Peter has worked for 17 years within Indigenous communities across Australia photographing and recording the importance and beauty of Aboriginal culture so that it may reach a wider audience to be understood, respected and importantly maintained. Fire and the Story of Burning Country is a response from top end Elders to Victoria's devastating wildfires of Black Saturday in February 2009. Through this book it is hoped that a set mind will change from the dominant belief that fire is a threat, to the realization that fire is an important tool in managing the land and preventing wildfire. Dr Don Hankins, a specialist in fire ecology/pyrogeography, Indigenous land management practices and conservation of Indigenous cultural practices, writes in the book's foreword: Where fire is applied to the landscape it yields a mosaic of positive outcomes from resilience to growth. Where Indigenous fires have been removed from the landscape devastating bushfires are more common, as are there impacts on people and whole communities. Peter's previous books include: Elders. Wisdom from Australian Indigenous Leaders (Cambridge U.P.), Yolngu Mali (Penguin), My Peoples Dreaming (Finch Publishing), Old Growth (Hardie Grant) and Australia Beyond Any Price (Pan Macmillan).

Paperback. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. With illustrations, maps, portraits, genealogical tables, a fine copy. WHITEWASH is a true story of breathtaking scope that follows a family's journey across several centuries, from First Peoples genocide and the transatlantic slave trade to flight and freedom in a new land, punctuated by some of the most significant conflicts in human history. It is also the story of race, identity and the whitewashing of Black and Indigenous history. George 'Bernie' Showery was born in Sydney, Australia, in the years prior to Federation. Abandoned by his African-American father when he was just three years old, an eccentric father figure would later introduce him to carefree days at Freshwater Beach. It was here, in the summer of 1914-15, that Duke Kahanamoku would demonstrate his graceful ability to walk on water, with the ocean serving as both a stage and a supreme metaphor for change. Soon after, Bernie Showery would be called away to fight for the British Empire, serving in the Middle East with the legendary Australian Light Horse and the Imperial Camel Corps. Fighting alongside Lawrence of Arabia, he would witness the great cavalry charge at Beersheba, the fall of Damascus, and the manoeuvring behind the British carve-up of Palestine.; 235 x 150mm; xxxvi, 460 pages.…
