Jenni Barnett
Jenni Barnett was born and raised in South Australia. During her final education at Woodlands Girls Grammar School, Glenelg, the author developed an interest in archaeology and indigenous societies. Further to an extensive nursing career, Jennifer embarked on studies in traditional medicine with which she is still involved. As a registered Traditional Western and Chinese Medicine practitioner, the author has done considerable research into early indigenous cultures. While enjoying creative writing and drawing, she decided to combine the two art forms and incorporate them in a traditional, pre-European setting. The author is particularly fascinated by the ability of Australian indigenous bush-men to access a higher sense, or instinct. Their survival skills in remote regions of Australia where early pioneers often perished are emphasized in her writing. As a semi-retired health practitioner, she resides with her husband on the North Queensland Coast. Jenni divides her time between writing, sketching and her health practice. Along with her husband she has spent countless hours establishing a bird friendly environment by cultivating native plants and an eco-friendly environment.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5myths-legends, anthropology, historical-research, historical-figures, aboriginal-people, Australia, cultural-exploration I confess to knowing almost nothing about the peoples of Australia before the English came (for reference, mine came to the US from Eastern Europe before WW1). On the other hand, I have an addiction to works published by Charles River Editors so that probably explains why I enjoyed this work. I always find the similarities of myths and legends around the globe very fascinating. This work is somewhat more academic than others, but I think that it is best read in segments rather than cover to cover in one go. Bottom line is that it is a wonderful insight into those who came to Australia first. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Xlibris via NetGalley.
