- Cultural Sensitivity Advisory Notice: Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and other First Nations people are advised that this work may contain names, recordings and images of deceased people and other content that may be culturally sensitive. Please also be aware that you may see certain words or descriptions within this work which reflect the author's attitude, or that of the period in which the work was created, and may now be considered inaccurate, inappropriate or offensive.
- "Although considerable care has been taken with the selection of material for this publication, it is possible that something has been included which should not be seen by some Aborigines. It is therefore suggested that any school teacher or ther person who might be using this material in areas where the students could include Aborigines, should first check with the appropriate members of the community. The authors fully realize that there were many Aboriginal cultures in this land prior to 1788 and that throughout this book many generalizations hace been made which might not be true for a particular group. Wherever possible, customs have been attributed to specific groups of people." --Inprint page.
