Authoritative and accessible
Jakelin Troy takes a thorough, detailed, and disciplined approach - reconstructing the virtually lost language of the first yura in Australia to be impacted by white colonisation.
Working only from verifiable primary sources (and many of them) she also fills the book with cultural explanations, and illustrations from settlers' journals that all help to bring the vibrant Sydney Harbour indigenous community to life.
At only 120 pages, with a full 50 of those being an English to Sydney Language word list, this book is an easy to digest, impressive, and vital addition to the culture of the Sydney region.
