ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Tubowgule (tube-uh-gahlee) was an important place for the Gadi people. The Dharug word refers to the meeting of salt and fresh waters, and it was a site of sharing knowledge and gathering resources for millennia. Then in 1788 it became known as Cattle Point and had four more names before it became the site of the Opera House, and culture, art and knowledge were again shared upon its land.
Dylan Finney's illustrations are particularly interesting when depicting buildings and landscape, and use colours that are a mixture of strong and muted. A wonderful book about the importance of names attaching to place, of the changes time brings, and of the enduring cultural ties of the local Indigenous people to the site. Mid-primary ages. Lindy
