Coonardoo is a young Aboriginal woman trained from childhood to be the housekeeper at Wytaliba station and, as such, destined to look after its owner, Hugh Watt. The love between Coonardoo and Hugh is rigorously suppressed for Coonardo's sake and so it destroys not only Coonardoo but also a once-peaceful community. First published in 1929 and considered shocking and daring at that time, this novel also intimately and vividly describes the scorching Australian far north-west, its wildflowers and flocks of cockatoos as well as the life of a cattleman and the life of the indigenous people.
