## Resource

Shipwreck survivor James Morrill washed up on the Far North QLD coast in 1846, living with Aboriginal people for 17 years before re-assimilating into European society. In this second episode of reading James' book about his experience, published in 1864, James outlines his observations of pre-European Aboriginal life, what they ate, language, how they dealt with the dead, spiritual beliefs and his appeal for land to be set aside for them. I continue to add my experience living off the land trying to escape his predicament in a homemade dugout canoe. Listen to my Modern-Day Castaway audiobook about my journey up the Great Barrier Reef in a dugout canoe to escape James predicament. Hard copy books containing James account Captive of Empire - Bruce Breslin (this is the one I mentioned that delves into the Aboriginal context and issues of the period) Mogoer Munya - John Elliot Listen to the Castaway audiobook by Robert Macklin detailing the experience of Shipwrecked cabin boy Narcisse Pelletier Hosted on Acast.
