On A Barbarous Coast

On a Barbarous Coast offers a thought-provoking reimagining of Captain Cook's story, set against the backdrop of a treacherous Australian coast where survivors of the Endeavour wreck face the unknown dangers of unfamiliar land and people. Through the perspectives of both the stranded crew and the indigenous Guugu Yimidhirr, the narrative explores themes of identity, perception, and the possible paths history could have taken. This intriguing and reflective retelling elevates Indigenous Australians to a central role in the story of Australia's origins.
