Invisible Invaders: Smallpox and other diseases in Aboriginal Australia 1780-1880
()
About this ebook
The Macassan fishermen usually visited during the monsoon season, and the local Indigenous people traded with them. Once the monsoon was over, these Aboriginals resumed their travels into the interior for food, social contact and ritual events, carrying small pox with them. Smallpox thus slowly moved across the continent, eventually reaching the south-east, where it was first recorded by Europeans. Judith Campbell’s research on the incidence of smallpox and other diseases among Aboriginal people has extended over more than twenty years. Accumulating evidence from other disciplines supports her findings.

Judy Campbell always had an interest in all things medical, and decided the next best thing to being a doctor or nurse herself was writing about them… and their lives and loves! She sets her stories in all her favourite places – Scotland, Italy, America, and, of course, the English countryside. When she's not writing, Judy loves walking and playing golf in the Highlands of Scotland, and meeting up with her special writing friends for gossipy lunches and encouragement.
