Wyndham Yella Fella

by Reginald Birch

Reginald Birch remembers his childhood years growing up in the remote east Kimberley town of Wyndham. Brilliantly captured are the many bittersweet experiences of his family, such as fleeing the Forrest River Mission to escape the threat of a WWII Japanese invasion and traveling the vast Kimberley landscape in search of work and a place to settle. Back in Wyndham, against a backdrop of yarns spun by town and station legends, Reginald Birch brings to life the challenges faced by an Aboriginal family as they carve their place in an outback society.
