born on 21 August 1938 at Narrogin in Western Australia
My name is Mudrooroo Nyoongah and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I
am a writer. My first novel Wild Cat Falling, published in 1965, is the first novel
written by an Indigenous Australian to be published. I have won many literary prizes for
my writing.
