About The Author
John Watson
Paul Marshall is a conservationist originally hailing from Ipswich, Queensland. For two years, he travelled through Japan, Europe and Britain with the World Bike Ride for Peace promoting the film On Sacred Ground, campaigning for Australian Indigenous Land Rights. The film was about Aboriginal disadvantage and the struggle against the destruction of a sacred site at Nookanbah Station. This is the struggle from which the Kimberley Land Council was formed. In the mid-1980s, Paul was employed as Administrator of the Kimberley Land Council under the leadership of John Watson, and it was from this association that Raparapa was born.
