Cassandra Pybus
Truganini - Listen
Truganini tells the haunting story of the extraordinary woman behind the myth of ‘the last Aboriginal Tasmanian’. Scholar and award-winning author Cassandra Pybus draws from original eyewitness accounts to paint a complex picture of Truganini’s remarkable life. In conversation with Jakelin Troy, Cassandra discusses her inspiring and heart-wrenching account of a lively, intelligent young woman who survived the devastating decade of the 1820s, when the clans of southeastern Tasmania were all but extinguished.
This recording is available on all major podcast platforms.
