| Summary |
"David Unaipon was a great inventor, writer, speaker, and poet who grew up on a mission in South Australia. David worked continually to improve the conditions of his people and took great pride in his Ngarrindjeri heritage. He was a very curious person and often looked for ways to improve how things worked. David is best remembered for the mechanical sheep sheers that he invented, but he also invented many others things over his lifetime." -- back cover. |
