Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Oodnadatta Country I can still see it, in my minds eye, exactly as it was back in my time. The There are so many stories to tell of my life, and sometimes I think they are not of importance, but they are, because often it is the little details that are the most important. I still remember every detail. [Like] Oodnadatta Country I can still see it, in my minds eye, exactly as it was back in my time. The Country still calls me back to where I was born, a very exposed and stony land, but I still love it. Thats where my spirit is.Kanakiya Myra Ah Chee was born at Oodnadatta in remote South Australia in 1932. When her mother tragically died Myra was only eight. Her grieving father gathered up the remaining family and walked north away from her childhood home. They spent years as nomads, travelling with the camels that were her fathers livelihood, up and down the Finke River. Her father sought work where and when he could, while he looked after his children, teaching them about the bush, their culture and life. It was a childhood of freedom, bush tucker, bush games, fires, stories at night and sleeping under the stars at times idyllic but, at other times, terrifying and tragic. Myras father was a safe and reassuring presence, but when he decided education was the key to his childrens future, Myras life was changed forever.My family pulled all their strengths together from the bush life and from school education. We have shown how it is possible to be successful in life, bringing both sides of our cultures into line.' There are so many stories to tell of my life, and sometimes I think they are not of importance, but they are, because often it is the little details that are the most important. I still remember every detail. [Like] Oodnadatta Country - I can still see it, in my mind's eye, exactly as it was back in my time.
