AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The main title, Bunji, refers not just to the black rights newsletter founded by Bill Day, but also recalls the term used especially by Aborigines for a mate. Although mateship may have taken on something of a taint by now, this is in part a story of mateship in which one man shows that he can make a difference. This is a personal account of the struggle for Aboriginal land rights in Darwin in the 1970s and into the 80s.'  (Introduction)

    'After three years (1992-94) and six issues, this will be my last issue as general editor. The previous general editor, Dr Kingsley Palmer, also edited six issues (1989-91), although two cases do not make a pattern (the previous general editor, Dr David Horton, edited ten issues). The termination of my time as general editor coincides with the appointment of a new Director of Research, Dr Mary Edmunds, who will also take over the journal. We wish Mary every success in her new position and particularly in her role as general editor. We also hope that you, the readers, will continue to reap profit and enjoyment from the flagship publication of the Institute.' (Editorial introduction)
