Palm Island may be the most beautiful tropical island in Australia. In 2004 Cameron Doomadgee, a 36-year-old resident of the island, was arrested for swearing at a white police officer. Within forty-five minutes he was dead. This title recounts this story and explores Aboriginal myths and history and uncovers buried secrets of white mischief.
