Abstract
Australians and readers across the world love Oodgeroo of the Noonuccal people for the contribution she made with a poetry that reflects her openness, compassion and participation in the struggle for the rights of Aboriginal people. Oodgeroo was a teacher and guide to thousands who visited her home Moongalba where she established the Noonuccal-Nughie Education and Cultural Centre. The huge legacy that Oodgeroo left us through her poetry and work as a political activist, educator and leader remains a beacon of pride and inspiration to Aboriginal people everywhere.
