Raparapa is a raw and gritty history that captures the harsh realities endured by Aboriginal drovers in the Kimberley.

These storytellers capture a slice of history and showcase those who have persevered through impossible odds. Their strong work ethic is matched only by their love of the Kimberley countryside and the mighty Fitzroy River that flows through it. Mustering and droving across their traditional lands allowed these men to maintain their Law, culture and traditional land management practices. Sharing their personal stories, each drover touches upon different aspects of the cattle industry and, when fully read, encompasses the history of the industry as a whole.
