Red Kangaroo Books is an independent bookstore in Alice Springs and has been trading for over decade. Our bookstore specialises in Australian and Indigenous books and serves a varied community of readers. We stock a large range of books that cover Indigenous history and art; Indigenous language books; local and regional history; biographies of local and larger-than-life heroes; fiction; children's books; and flora, fauna and natural history books. We believe we are the only bricks-and-mortar bookshop still standing between Port Augusta, Darwin, Broome and Broken Hill.
“There is a place on the north Stuart highway,
50 kilometres, not far from town.
It’s a meeting place, a home,
A place where family and friends gather round.”
Althateme (McGrath's Dam) is a poem about a very special apmere (country). The site of Land Rights protests that started in 1985, McGrath's Dam has deep cultural and historical significance for families of Mpweringke Anapipe north of Mparntwe (Alice Springs). This beautiful Central/Eastern Arrernte and English book invokes memories of a joyful childhood, love of family, culture and apmere (Country), brought to life by vibrant illustrations.
