All the Best heads to the Warbuton Ranges in the heart of Western Australia, to hear a little-known part of Aussie history. In 1933, Christian missionaries arrived in the Ngaanyatjarra lands, and made contact with the Yarnangu people, who were nomadic and lived off the land. But unlike darker parts of our history, there was no stolen generation or cultural destruction. Today’s Yarnangu elders sit down and tell us what really happened on the Warbuton Mission.
