Mount Barkers most famous sons, Jim and Phil Krakouer took the Australian football world by storm in the early 1980s. Their unique and anarchic brand of football, dubbed black magic, captured the imagination of the nation. This is the story of the challenges they faced in their rise to the top of their game; their skill, daring and resilience both on and off the sporting field, and the controversy and adversity that has met them throughout their lives.
It is difficult to define Indigenous relationships to the land, systems of belief, law and tradition ceremony in a way that easily transfers into the English language or a Western understanding. In 1968, anthropologist and theorist W.E.H. Stanner described what is commonly known as the 'Dreaming' using the term 'everywhen'. 'Everywhen' describes something that is somewhat timeless, not fixed in the past but part of the present and the future, all at the same time.
