A journey through Torres Strait Islander culture and identity, past and present

'My people are expert navigators, adventurers, innovators, ambassadors, teachers, storytellers, performers, strategists, chefs and advocates for change. The blood runs deep when I reflect on the past and the present and imagine what our future might look like.' -Leilani Bin-Juda

What makes Zenadth Kes/Torres Strait unique? And what is it like to be a Torres Strait Islander in contemporary Australia? Growing Up Torres Strait Islander in Australia, compiled by poet and author Samantha Faulkner, showcases the distinct identity of Torres Strait Islanders through their diverse voices and journeys.

Hear from emerging and established writers from both today and the recent past, including Eddie Mabo, Thomas Mayo, Lenora Thaker, Ellie Gaffney, Jillian Boyd-Bowie, Aaron Fa'Aoso and Jimi Bani. These and many more storytellers, mentors, traditional owners, doctors and teachers from the Torres Strait share their joy, culture, good eating, lessons learned and love of family, language and Country.

Discover stories of going dugong hunting and eating mango marinated in soy sauce. The smell of sugar cane and frangipani-scented sea breeze. Family, grandmothers and canoe time. Dancing, singing, weaving hats and making furniture from bamboo. Training as a doctor and advocating for healthcare for the Torres Strait. The loneliness of being caught between two cultures. Mission life, disconnection and being evacuated to the mainland during World War II. "Is that really your mum? Why is she black?". Not being Islander enough. Working hard to reconnect to your roots, and claiming back land and culture.

A book to treasure and share, this groundbreaking collection provides a unique perspective on the Torres Strait Islander experience.

With contributions by- Ellen Armstrong, Tetei Bakic-Tapim, Jimi Bani, Leilani Bin-Juda, Jillian Boyd-Bowie, Tahlia Bowie, Aaliyah Jade Bradbury, John Doolah, Donisha Duff, Aaron Fa'Aoso with Michelle Scott Tucker, Ellie Gaffney, Velma Gara, Jaqui Hughes, Adam C.

Very expensive but worked no better than powdered cleansers
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
My camper is a 2004 with oxidized paint and dark streaks from being out in the weather. I looked at reviews and there is a lot of hype about this product so I ordered some. I used this on an area of my camper to test it in case it didn't work and guess what...it didn't. It didn't remove the oxidation and black streaking any better than Ajax powder. In one place, when I used it as directed, it wore the paint down to the bare metal and didn't remove dark streaking in the surrounding area. The area I tested it on looked cleaner, but no better than the area I used Ajax powder on the day before. Very expensive for what it didn't do. I do not recommend this product.

Works great
Be careful NOT to get it on painted surfaces it will remove the paint. It does exactly what they say it does and if you follow the directions to the letter you won't have any problems

Worth the time and effort.
Perfect solution to my faded out, sun damaged gel coat. Follow the instructions to the letter for a factory-like shine. One bottle was barely enough for our 22' Winnebago, another bottle for our 29' Cabin Cruiser. Many compliments on the shine.

A quality product which will clean an oxidized fiberglass trailer in preparation for the application of Poli Glow
I used this to remove the Poli Glow previously applied about two years ago to my fiberglass trailer. It seems to do a slightly better job of removing the PG than the other Prep solution, but I didn't do a side-to-side comparison. And the surface never achieved a completely uniform appearance after the stripping, although this may not be possible because of differences in the remaining gel coat surfaces. I also completely washed the trailer with soap & water after using this stripping product. I didn't do this the previous time and thought some of the prep compound may have been left on the surface resulting in a shorter life. Time will tell. Note: it is still "work" to strip the trailer, this is not a "magic" solution, thus the 4-star rating. But it, along with the Poli Glow, was the only way to get my oxidized trailer to look shiny. All the other products tried failed to bring a glow. I will purchase it again when redoing the trailer.
