One of the few early sources we have for pre-contact indigenous history. I find as an Australian history teacher that the indigenous history of Australia is fascinating and useful to study, however the paucity of quality sources (primary and secondary) makes it difficult to teach. Hopefully that will improve with better scholarship on the topic in the future.
