Under a Bilari Tree I Born

About this book

A remarkable life of an Aboriginal woman in the Pilbara, raising nine children and 15 foster children.

Alice Bilari Smith's story is both remarkable and typical. As a girl on Rocklea Station, she narrowly avoided removal from her family by "the Welfare." She grew up in the ways of her country, hunting, cooking, and building in the traditional manner. Some of her children were born in the bush, others in the hospital. By the time she had five children of her own she was playing an active role in caring for other Aboriginal children, and she initiated the establishment of the Homemakers Centre in Roebourne.

Alice's story is insightful and inspiring, offering a glimpse into Aboriginal life in the Pilbara and the challenges and triumphs of raising a large family. Discover the resilience and cultural richness of a life lived close to the land.
