Baal Belbora The End Of The Dancing
Biography & Memoir History Australiana
Baal Belbora: The End of the Dancing by Geoffrey Bomfield is a scarce 1981 hardcover that blends Australian cultural history, folklore and geography into a concise 148-page narrative. Bomfield explores the colonial collision that silenced traditional dance and ceremony in the Baal Belbora region, making this vintage volume a must for collectors of Australiana and true-story non-fiction.
This copy carries a warm gift inscription on the front endpaper, adding personalised charm rather than author signature. Inside, light to moderate foxing appears on the prelims and roughly fifteen further pages, while the boards show the honest scuffs of four decades of careful reading. Dust-jacket is not mentioned, presumed absent.
Ideal for devotees of Australian history, antiquarian folklore, or cultural studies shelves, the book delivers first-hand observation and local memory without academic jargon. Its UK printing keeps the text accessible to global readers seeking primary voices on Indigenous-settler encounter.
A sturdy, vintage find that will sit proudly among other Australiana, biography or mythology titles, inviting readers to revisit a pivotal moment when music and movement were forever changed.
