Robert Lowe's affection and regard for "The Mish," a property in Victoria's southwest, originally an Aboriginal mission, is warmly coveyed in this candid memoir. In the 1950s and '60s when Robert was growing up, "The Mish" was a close-knot community made up of the Aboriginal descendents of Framlingham Aboriginal Mission Station, founded in 1865. Robert's adventurous boyhood was a secure and unfettered time spent with siblings and cousins enjoying hunting, fishing and eel trapping.Teachings by the community elders instilled in him a connection to the land and a spirituality he would, in turn, pass on to following generations. When Robert and his bride leave the Mish, a new chapter begins in a nearby town where acceptance and respect are hard won.Winner of the 2001 Unaipon Award
