Writer's
Walk
Faith Bandler (geb.
1918)
The blueness
of the sky folded into the sea and it was never
ending. It was always like this. Everything was
eternal.
The moons came and went and came again. The sun
came
every day. When the dark thick clouds which brought
the
rain covered the sun, there was no need to think
about them,
even to notice them, because the sun would come
again.
Wacvie (1977) |
Faith Bandler's writings include "Wacvie"
(1977), a biography of her Vanutan Island father brought
to Australia by slave traders in 1883. A long time activist
for constitutional change, she was NSW director of the
1967 referendum campaign to grant equal citizenship
to aboriginal people.
