On this episode we talk to author Patrick Collins about Aboriginal resistance leader, Bussamari who was from the Mandandanji language group.

The Mandandanji nation’s homeland is crossed by the Balonne and Maranoa rivers north of St George, and large creeks such as the Tchanning, Bungil, and Muckadilla (Upper Cogoon River) in south-central Queensland. In this episode, we yarn up about all the influence, leadership and history of Bussamari and talk to Patrick Collins about his book "Goodbye Bussamari."
