"In Jackson's Track revisited Carolyn Landon returns to the story told by Daryl Tonkin in Jackson's Track (Penguin, Australia, 1999) - the tale of his life in the great Gippsland forest living among Aboriginal timber workers. Just as his family hoped, Tonkin's memoir has created the space for more stories. In Jackson's Track revisited, the voices of Aboriginal people who lived at the Track mingle with those of the White Australians who tried to 'improve' their lives in the 1950's, the era of assimilation. An exploration of the historical factors surrounding Tonkin's story leads to discussion of the Victorian Aborigines Welfare Board, the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League and the policy of assimilation that was so prevalent in mid-twentieth century Australia"--Back cover.

In 1936, at the height of the Great Depression, Daryl Tonkin and his brother Harry head to the bush searching for work and adventure. The following year they set up a timber mill at Jackson's Track-a dreamtime place-in the rich temperate forests of south-eastern Victoria. An experienced bushman, the 'quiet type', Daryl works to clear the scrub; exploring the land and its ancient people, he unexpectedly falls in love. But Daryl is white and Euphie is black, and neither of them is prepared for the conflict their forbidden love ignites. This riveting memoir recaptures a community, place and way of life long vanished. It tells of one man's courage to pursue what he knows is right. An unforgettable true story of joy and tragedy, and of hope in the face of adversity. Passion, drama, heartbreak and determination abound - Australian. Thought-provoking and timely, this book is a must for anyone hoping to understand Australia's past - Herald Sun. A classic of its genre - Sydney Morning Herald.

Who were his greatest influences in both music and dance?
