Summary

What is it about the Northern Territory that fascinates? Why, for 180 years, has it drawn people to come, stay far longer than intended and, often, never leave? Arnhem's Kaleidoscope Children is a remembered story of a family's life in a distant world. The place, Oenpelli, in Australia's Northern Territory, is like remote Canada or Alaska, where few others go. It is the landscape of Crocodile Dundee; myriad hues of billabongs, open grass plains, sunlit hills and purple storms, peopled by its many coloured children. It is a story of a changing world; how a missionary family and aboriginal community became part of modern Australia over 50 years
