Australia's Invisible History

Moses Tjalkabota was a charismatic and well-known personality in Central Australia. An Arrarnte man, his early years were spent on country in a traditional Aboriginal lifestyle, learning Arrarnte culture from his elders. As a child, he was schooled on the Hermannsburg Mission. Known affectionately as Blind Moses, he became an evangelist. Regarded as a master storyteller and public speaker, he attracted large crowds whenever he preached in public. Although he was blind, he travelled vast distances over Central Australia to share his message with Aboriginal people in their communities.

Profoundly gifted in several fields, his achievements emphatically disproved the prejudiced preconceptions that existed about Aboriginal people at the time. He lectured publicly on science and theology and patented nine inventions, including a shear that turned circular motion into lateral motion. He collected the myths and legends of Aboriginal people and was the first indigenous Australian to be published, although his book was not originally published under his own name. By the 1920s, he was the most well-known Aboriginal person in Australia and was able to be a public voice on behalf of his people. He can be seen on the Australian $50 note.

She campaigned to bring out the families of former convicts for free, so they  could be reunited with their loved ones in Australia. In 1847, she became the first woman to address the House of Lords in  Westminster. She was also the first woman, other than the Queen, to feature on  an Australian bank note.  But the time she returned to England in 1846, she had helped 11,000 new  Australians find homes and work.  Further information: Caroline Chisholm – An Irresistible Force, by Sarah Goldman, HarperCollins, 2017 Caroline Chisholm – The Emigrant’s Friends, by Joanna Bogle Caroline Chisholm – The Emigrant’s Friend by Tania McCartney (Junior Historical  Fiction) Australian Dictionary of Biography [https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/chisholm-caroline-1894] One Saint For Australia - Newspaper Article [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/18011659] You can find Dr Paul Roe online at theoutbackhistorian.com.au and Katrina Roe  at katrinaroe.com See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
