Exploring the spiritual experiences and hopes of colonial white Australians, Dr Veronica Brady talks about our migrant past, initial hopes for a Great Southern Land, the false myth of the noble pioneer and our abuse of Aboriginal people. She describes how in Australia the old all-powerful God is dead, but in his place, we might turn to Spirit, the God who suffers, dies and hopes, and fits well with the real heroes of our Australian culture, the battlers.
