"The "wild" six year old was Ambrose Mungala Chalarimeri, born in Kwini country some 60 years ago. His life story is a fascinating account of a people and region that have experienced unheaval and change on a monumental scale. In these pages the reader will gain an insight into the lives, culture and customs of the people who inhabit "this other Eden." Told with candour and in Ambroses' own classic words The Man from the Sunrise Side is a wonderful way to understand Aboriginal Australia."--BOOK JACKET.

It is an extrordinary account of people from the far north Kimberley of Western Australia who have experienced change and upheaval on a monumental scale. Chalarimeri tells of the lives and customs of his 'people from the sunrise side', and what he calls 'the clash of two cultures'." - back cover.
