Red Kangaroo Books is an independent bookstore in Alice Springs and has been trading for over decade. Our bookstore specialises in Australian and Indigenous books and serves a varied community of readers. We stock a large range of books that cover Indigenous history and art; Indigenous language books; local and regional history; biographies of local and larger-than-life heroes; fiction; children's books; and flora, fauna and natural history books. We believe we are the only bricks-and-mortar bookshop still standing between Port Augusta, Darwin, Broome and Broken Hill.
Episodes from a life spent among the native tribes of Australia. Set mainly in the Northern Territory.
Dr. Basedow was Chief Medical Officer and Protector of Aborigines in the Northern Territory, and later Special Aborigines Commissioner. Dr Basedow led both Government and private expeditions into Central and Northern Australia, and made a world-wide reputation as a geologist and anthropologist.
This book deals not so much with those aspects of his career as with the observations of the Aborigines as fellow human beings, with the frailties and virtues of any folk, and possessed of a nobility of character, the nature and fineness of which, even now, is not widely appreciated. It is as one of themselves that Dr. Basedow wrote this fascinating story of the Aborigines' lore, tribal customs and ceremonies, pitched battle and duel, bird and animal hunts. It is a narrative in which broad comedy, touching pathos and tragedy blend into a living and beautiful pattern. Nobody will ever again see all that is here described.
We are a family owned local business with a passion for reading, all things books and supporting Australian and local authors. We love getting to know our customers and finding just the 'right' book for them. Our staff have the same commitment to service that we do and can offer suggestions on demand! Our focus is on Australian and regional. We have an extensive collection of books and DVDs about Indigenous culture, language and history. We also have a carefully curated selection of international authors. If we do not have what you need, we will make every effort to get it in for you. When you spend money with us, you are contributing to the local economy - but our customers tell us they shop with us because they love our range of books and our service.
