The Kadaitcha Sung – A novel by Sam Watson Penguin Books (1990) – a review
“the one god, a greater being, (who) made his camp on the rich veldts and in the lush valleys of the South Land” – Sam Watson describing the aboriginal spirit, Biamee.
This began as a review of Sam watson’s book but has turned into a remembrance the life and times of this aboriginal leader. We are coming close to the second anniversary of Sam Watson’s death. This is a great personal and public loss for Brisbane Blacks and socialists in Meanjin. It is worth looking at a novel The Kadaitcha Sung that Sam wrote in the late 1980s to appreciate why.
