Man from the Sunrise Side

The Man from the Sunrise Side is the autobiography of Ambrose Mungala Chalarimeri, a Kwini man from the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. His story is a powerful glimpse of life as a young boy growing up on a mission and as a man whose skills include horsemanship and mustering, tracking and hunting, bush mechanics and horticulture. His life story is a fascinating account of a people and region that have experienced upheaval and change on a monumental scale. In these pages, the reader will gain an insight into the lives, culture and customs of the peoplewho inhabited ‘this other Eden’. Told with candour and in Ambrose’s own voice The Man from the Sunrise Side is a wonderful way to understand Aboriginal Australia.
