Summary:

"This is the most well-researched and authentic account ever published of pre-British Australia. Presented as a non-fiction fiction, it covers Australian social life, politics, religion and history from an ethnic Cadigal perspective, brought to life by handed down stories involving much loved characters of the Sydney region. Be prepared for an alternative to the massively undersold and misunderstood received wisdom of traditional Aboriginal culture. This book invites the reader to take an alternative view of an internationally-connected, complex society, an early adopter of foundational modern monotheism and a written alphabet, with five person ocean-going canoes, shared East Asian language and ochre art, medicine, early farming, and stone housing." --Publisher's summary.
