Description

From the article:
David Unaipon is best known today as the face that looks out from the Australian fifty-dollar note. Behind this face, there is a very important story. He was curiously religious and read widely on world religions and religious leaders such as Buddha, Mohammed and Christ. The inaugural David Unaipon Award for an unpublished Indigenous Writer was presented in 1989.
