Examines the ambivalence of travellers' engagements with Aboriginality. Concentrating on a period marked by the rise of discourses on Aboriginality championing indigenous empowerment, and reconciliation, the author analyses how travel to Black Australia has become a means of discovering new styles of interracial engagement.
