A CBCA EVE POWNALL AWARD NOTABLE BOOK 2026
A fascinating and inclusive history of one of Australia's greatest landmarks, the Sydney Opera House, and the land on which it is built.
This is the story of Tubowgule.
The Sydney Opera House is an Australian icon and a building recognised all around the world, but the land on which it stands has a long history. We step back in time to when Tubowgule was a ceremonial place for the Gadi people and we follow along as the land is claimed by the colonisers and then takes on various forms and uses before it comes back around again as a place to gather and share song, dance and culture.
The first book in an Indigenous history series about Australia's most iconic landmarks.
