Listen | Killing For Country at the Bond Store

Hear from acclaimed author David Marr in conversation with Badtjala artist Dr Fiona Foley.

David Marr is the author of Killing for Country, a gripping reckoning with the bloody history of Australia's frontier wars.

In Killing for Country Marr brings his experience as an investigative journalist, an award-winning biographer, and political analyst to the story of a colonial family that seized hundreds of thousands of acres of land and led Aboriginal troopers into bloody massacres in the most violent years of the Native Police.

In this conversation between David Marr and Fiona Foley, uncover the history of Maryborough and other frontier towns across the country.
