Abstract

Many people say that Australia and Canada have little to teach other. Surely January temperatures of Minus 40 and Plus 40 in Central and Northern Australia and Western and Northern Canada are more similar than dissimilar. That is, both extremes confronted European settlers who came from more temperate lands and who found buffalo or bilby, kangaroo or caribou, strange and exotic creatures which should be replaced by herds of European cattle. I hope I can show that the two countries, and others, have much to share. Also, I will use the Australia-Canada experience to illustrate wider points about indigenous internationalism.
