"The Sacred Hill" By Gordon Hookey
The Sacred Hill is a bold and thought-provoking story by celebrated Waanyi artist and storyteller Gordon Hookey.
The tale begins with a timeless land where mobs of kangaroos live in harmony with the sacred hill. They care for the land, and in return, the land provides for them. Peace reigns—until a disruptive mob of noisy mynas arrives and upends everything.
Forced from their home, the kangaroos set out on a journey that will test their resilience and challenge their connection to Country. Through metaphor and striking imagery, The Sacred Hill highlights themes of displacement, colonisation, and environmental disruption.
This powerful book offers rich storytelling with layered meaning—perfect for classroom discussion and community reading, and equally engaging for younger readers and adults alike.
