White Poppies
By Carl Warburton
Published by Angus & Robertson Limited: Sydney 1937 1st Edition

"White Poppies" by Carl Warburton is an autobiographical story based on the author's experiences in Australia's Northern Territory, particularly in the remote outback. The book provides a vivid depiction of life in the rugged and isolated landscapes of northern Australia.

Key Themes & Content:
  • Survival in the Outback - Warburton describes his time in the harsh Australian wilderness, where he endured extreme conditions with limited resources.
  • Encounters with Indigenous Australians - The book includes descriptions of Warburton's interactions with Aboriginal people
  • Opium and White Poppies - The title White Poppies is believed to reference opium poppies, as Warburton touches on themes of drug use and its presence in remote Aboriginal communities.
