Black and White is a disturbing first-hand account of a nineteenth-century massacre of Aborigines by Queensland's infamous Native Police. It vividly details a little known example of an event not uncommon in Australia's early pastoral history. With a bushman's knack for storytelling, Blagden Chambers vigorously describes the massacre, its aftermath and his growing friendship with the survivors. He also brings to life conditions in the bush in the 1860's for both the settlers and the Aborigines.
