- Summary:
-
In the year 1876, Arthur Wilbraham, young, Christian, well-educated and idealistic, has come from South Australia to the new Colony of Queensland to help 'save' the natives. Wilbraham joins the Queensland Native Police as a cadet officer. Serving under the infamous Lieutenant Frederick Wheeler, Arthur's education in the methods of this most notorious police force begins. Travelling throughout the central part of the colony, the Native Police undertake their commission to 'disperse troublesome blacks'. Their actions in brutally murdering and raping Aboriginal people give bitter meaning to these words. Their journey is also the journey of Arthur Wilbraham - one which traces his descent into a very personal hell.
