This is the most extreme "culture war" thing I think I have ever seen. It is about closing a mountain to whites (and all women), but goes so much further than that.. I never thought I would see this level of official extremism in Australia. Let alone by a supposedly "conservative" state government. (archive.ph)

Keith Windschuttle is generally the sole "dissenting" (non-woke) academic voice on that particular topic.

But I would also recommend "The Secret River" (fiction) and "Arthur Phillip: Governor, Soldier, Spy" (non-fiction) for good early historical context...

Also, the classic, "For the Term of His Natural Life", which, while mainly focussed on the convict story, naturally touches upon some of this, too...

Robert Hughes' "Fatal Shore" is also probably a key book to start with. And maybe "The Cotton Papers" (about Tasmania), if you can find it.

Finally, Quadrant (https://quadrant.org.au/) and the Australian Spectator (https://spectator.com.au/) have both long-form essays and lists of "recommended readings", so that should be a good start.

For a centrist take, Griffith Review (https://www.griffithreview.com/) is ok. Sometimes a bit too "left wing", for me, but they do the job.

Left wing sources are ubiquitous, if you wanted those. The Conversation is at least academic (if very biased), and The Monthly... Well, at least it pretends to have academic rigour, if nothing else.

Aus Geographic is relatively not bad. It's "drier" than Nat Geo, so there's that. Occasionally they'll touch on these issues. Older editions are, naturally, going to be better. I assume they're available online.

Hope that gets you started!

If you ever do get down here - if you stay away from the capital cities (and especially inner city/wealthy areas), generally it gets much less woke, and more tolerable.

There's plenty to see here, still. It's just that, as you can see here, our "social betters" are utterly determined to take away anything they can, at every given opportunity!
