I have written quite a few times about the burden of disease, particularly chronic disease on Australia’s Indigenous population.
On Monday night on ABC1 8:30pm Australian Story has a more personalised story on Mandawuy Yunupingu and his battle with end stage renal disease.
For another personal view of Mandawuy head over to Bob Gosford’s “The Northern Myth” for a great post looking at Mandawuy’s life as Bob’s reminisces.
And be watching Australian Story on Monday night.
Here’s Mandawuy in his younger years fronting Yothu Yindi with their signature song “Treaty”
I have also written previously about his younger brother Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu
