Dick Kimber, 1939 to 2024

It is with great sadness that we record the passing of Central Australia’s premier scholar, one of our most outstanding editorial contributors and all up a very fine man, Dick Kimber, after a long illness.
He will be missed throughout the community.
We send our heartfelt condolences to Margaret and family – Erwin Chlanda and Kieran Finnane.
“Real True History: The Coniston Massacre” was an 18-part account, painstakingly researched, impressively written, about a dark part of Central Australia’s history.
