Hello to Carmel Middletent:
My friend has a copy of this calander, and I will happily find out where to source you a copy. I quoted this page at the Jewish Holocaust Centre function in Melbourne on December 6th last, when we launched Barbara Miller’s book on William Cooper.
Carmel, I am intruiged by your stated shared heritage, and am part-way through writing a book which includes some amazing similarities between Jewish and Aboriginal spirituality and traditions, and have incorporated some pen-portraits – perhaps we could discuss your inclusion also??

Please be in contact via catalystenterprises@hotmail.com

Thank you
Abe

Hi,I am inquiring in reguards to your story about William Cooper and the Jewish Calender,how I can receive the calender. I live in the United States,so where could I receive one here? My blood is of Jewish and Australian Aboriginal,i grew up in Australia but moved to the US when I was younger and communicate the Hebrew Bible through my Australian Aboriginal Art. Look forward to hearing back from you. Reguards Carmel Middletent.

Without in any way wishing to deny William Cooper’s moving and meritorious act nor the belated, posthumous recognition he has rightly obtained, I can’t help but regret that there’s scant recognition for the young Critchley Parker, who conceived a plan for a Jewish refugee settlement in a remote portion of Tasmania, perishing in the attempt to make his grand vision a reality. As far as I’m aware, there’s been no recognition of any kind by the Australian Jewish community for this Anglo-Saxon 25-year-old philosemite who died in the Jewish cause – and I find that rather sad.
