Popular former ABC TV personality Bill Peach travels the length and breadth of Australia seeking out often little known facets of the country’s history and their relation to present day conditions in the particular areas.
In this episode, Bill Peach explores Arnhem Land and it’s history, as seen by the Aboriginal people who live there. The program was filmed at the Gove, Elcho Island, Deaf Adder Gorge, Murganella and other places within the Kakadu National Park and includes a visit to the oldest rock paintings in Australia.
