Abstract

The contrasting images of western anthropologist and welfare worker Daisy Bates, as presented in Sidney Nolan's painting 'Portrait of Daisy Bates' (1950), his wife Cynthia Bates' book 'Outback', and Daisy Bates' autobiographical 'The Passing of the Aborigines ', are analysed. The manner in which their works commonly highlight Bates' heroic endurance of alien territory and strange people as an expatriate, although from different perspectives is highlighted.
