Oral History – Moola Bulla: In the Shadow of the Mountain

Aboriginal oral histories challenge the artifice known as ‘history’. The significance of Moola Bulla Station cannot be overstated; it is remembered as a centre infamous for its brutal punishments and strict controls but is also spoken about with a sense of affection and loss. Moola Bulla: in the shadow of the mountain is a testament to the strength and resilience of Kimberley Aboriginal people. It contains refreshing honesty, unexpected judgements and a unique humour that comes from a life of getting by.
