This book acknowledges the rescues of thousands of colonists by Aboriginal people from life threatening situations such as bush fires, floods, shipwrecks and being lost in the bush. It pays tribute to their knowledge, mercy and courage they showed by freely rescuing the invaders who sought to occupy their Country. We are indeed indebted to them for their kindness.
