Cootamundra Girl Ebook

Downloadable Ebook copy of Cootamundra Girl

At six years of age, together with her two sisters Amy and Rita, Adelaide Wenberg travelled by train from Central station in Sydney to Cootamundra, far away from her parents and brothers and all she’d ever known.

Adelaide Wenberg’s eighty years span a myriad of experiences unfamiliar to most of us growing up in Australia. The heartbeat of her story is a dogged determination to survive, to endure and to finally carve out a life of her own choosing. Yes, she is from the Stolen Generation. Her story is endlessly fascinating and harrowing in equal measure.

The story of this one life travels through a vast landscape. One lived in the city and the country, among the rich and the poor; befriended by artists and politicians, the well-educated and the uneducated. An ordinary Australian who has lived an extra-ordinary life.
