Description: History is not always the exact truth but a narrative flavoured by the writer's passion and background and the time when she or he lived. It is particularly true for southern Australia's history because it was put on paper by the colonialists. It is as if the history of Australia started then and nothing happened before. Many past stories representing the history of aboriginal Australia are lost because its people died rapidly of infectious diseases malnutrition and wars. Even these stories may not be the exact truth because they were told and re - told many times. But somewhere within the tales and the stories there is a truth and I have tried to find it. Behind the glamorous reports of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin's maritime exploits one can find their humanity aspirations and failures. The history of the people that lived along the South Australian coast from the Murray River the Encounter Bay (Ramong to the Ramindjeri people) Kangaroo Island to Port Lincoln (Kallinyalla the Place of Sweet Water to the Barngarla people) and along the entire west coast of the Eyre Peninsula is at best scanty. But there are stories - interesting stories - of whalers escaped convicts and their lives among the aboriginal people. Here I meld these stories together in a tale of love adventure and imagination.
