The Red Chief

De: Ion Idriess

Narrado por: James Condon

In times past there was an Aboriginal man called Cumbo Gunnerah. His people called him The Red Kangaroo. He was a clever chief and a mighty fighter (this man from Gunnedah). Later, the white people of this place called him The Red Chief. It would be hard to find a more satisfying hero than the young warrior Red Kangaroo, who by his mental and physical prowess became a chief of his tribe – the revered and powerful Red Chief of the Gunnedah district. His story is a first-rate tale of adventure but it is something more – a true story handed down from generation to generation by its hero's tribe and given by the last survivor, King Bungaree, to the white settlers of the district.©1953 The Estate of Ion Idriess.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were many great scene's in this book, its hard to pick a favorite, but I guess the stand out scene is where the Red Chief rescues his tribe from destruction through quick and clever decision making, and goes on to strengthen his tribe and give them long standing security.
