‘The Coming of a New Order‘ tells how the Kimberley was one of the last areas of productive land in Australia, where Indigenous People lived in their traditional manner, free from the influence of European settlement. It shows how the intrusion of European gold miners and pastoralists, following Alexander Forrest’s 1879 expedition of discovery, brought about a period of change and upheaval to this ancient civilisation, and introduced the Indigenous People to a New Order that was to challenge their very existence.
