By April, 1945, there were sixty-thousand prisoners housed in a camp built for no more than ten-thousand, a testament to Hitler's viciousness.The camp was liberated by the British on 15th April, 1945, and over the next 30 days the death rate dropped from 500 a day to less than 100 a day. More and more people continued to meet with death in the face of their liberation for many reasons, some of which has been needlessly blamed on the British, despite their heroic efforts.The fight to preserve life was a constant battle but one that was often lost. In total around 14,000 of those imprisoned died in the four weeks after their liberation.On 21st May a ceremony was held where the last of the memories were purged by flame: symbols of the Nazi Regime, and the last of the huts were torched and burnt to the ground in one huge emotional wave of relief.This story is but one of many, which commences in the latter part of 1944, and concludes in May of 1945.

The orca: they are black and white dolphins, mammals of the sea, warm-blooded creatures which are at the top of the food chain for the territory that they hold within their power, man being their only predator.Tom is born in the Pacific Ocean, 1862; he is 2.5 metres long and weighs 200kg; a grand specimen. George Davidson is born in Eden; May, 1863.This is the story of Tom, Killer whale of Twofold Bay, Eden, friend to George Davidson (bay whaler) and others like him: it is based upon a true story that will live in the memory of the citizens of Eden for eternity, a museum being built in Tom's honour upon his death.For thousands of years, before man recorded such events, killer whales hunted all manner of baleen whale in every ocean on this planet, and only once in all that time has it been witnessed, and recorded for the prosperity of understanding and knowledge, that they co-operated with humans in their hunt for whales. It all took place on the East Coast of Australia, Twofold Bay, Eden, and it is here that an extraordinary story unfolds of an unwritten contract between man and beast, one of nature's most powerful and intelligent, one that is misunderstood and labelled unkindly.

Individual feelings are tested to the limit, insecurities are measured by fear, and desire is outweighed by need. Angry and forgiving, tired and alive, eager and pessimistic. They fight against the conditions, against the hate, and against their pasts.It is a work of fiction, based on the people of the times, where prejudice is very much alive, many Afghans being treated poorly, not just for the colour of their skin, or their religious belief, but because of the expertise that the Afghan cameleers offer the Australian outback, taking work from many Australians.This story offers an in-depth look at the life of cameleers and the issues surrounding camel strings, shedding a great amount of light on the subject of camels in the outback, opening the eyes of the reader as to the great work that camel strings performed during this time of expansion.Camels were able to out-work bullock teams and horses due to their abilities to adjust to a harsh land, and the cameleers were of no exception.

Epic Poem - Poetry It was a great monopoly and stretched from Holland to Asia - namely Batavia (Jakarta), where the Dutch United East India Company (VOC) headquarters was established - and surrounding countries; a source of great wealth. Trade between these countries was of strategic importance where trade and wealth was concerned, copper, tin, spices, opium and dyes being some of the basic requisites of commerce. From the Cape of Good Hope to Batavia the ships would travel due west for approximately 1,000 Dutch miles before turning north. It was unfortunate for the time, however, that there was no means by which to accurately determine longitude at sea. Eventually land was encountered and this becomes the accepted method of voyage: to seek the sight of land and then head north towards the coast of Sumatra. For almost a hundred years some were lucky enough to cast their eyes upon the west coast of a great mass of land, thought to have been a part of New Guinea. The Zuytdorp departs the Cape of Good Hope, Table Bay, with the ship Kockenge. She pulls ahead of the Kockenge due to her being a much larger and faster vessel. Due to the departure being in April, opposed to the favourable March, the skipper decides to sail until sighting land before turning north for Batavia, to take full benefit of the winds from the west and the voyage then to the north. But catastrophe is all they meet, no success in voyage to be celebrated. The Zuytdorp is shipwrecked. This is the story of the survivors. There is evidence to show that Aboriginals of the Shark Bay area suffer from Porphyria Variegate, a gene mutation that is traceable to the Dutch. It is uncommon and rare, and there is no reason, other than the coupling of an Aboriginal with a survivor of the Zuytdorp, that currently explains the disease being discovered in Australian Aboriginals of WA. I do not declare this to be fact nor fiction: take it as you will.

This is the story of a man on walkabout, trekking the centre of Australia some 60,000 yearsago. The adventures open the door to myths and legends of Aboriginal society as never readbefore. The myths, legends and wonders of Aboriginal society are many and vast, passed onby word of mouth for tens of thousands of years.If we assume that the 'religion' of these people dates back so far then we have to assume thatcreatures such as the diprotodon, megalania, and thylacoleo, just to name a few, are foreverpresent in their myths and legend. But there are indicators to show that the religion does notdate back so far, or in the least, that religion was an on-going form of practice, for the dingo which only dates back some 5,000 years] seems to be rather active in ritual and commonplace amongst some myths and legends.Whether these stories have changed over the years as word mouth is hard to secure as asource of historical worth] or not, I have taken the liberty, whether justly or otherwise, to putit into story form, so that there appears to be a more rudiment meaning to the entiredevelopment of Aboriginal Dreamtime, which is an eternal way of life and carries with itmany sacred meanings.I can only hope that I have created no ill-will, for my intentions are to provide others with thejoy of understanding in a way which is more effortless then simply passing over one mythafter another in a big thick book.Kulinma Ngulakujaku-kula This book might contain names of people who have since departed this world
