Bates was a Catholic orphan. She migrated to Australia under an assisted passage scheme in 1883 and quickly reinvented herself as a Protestant Anglo-Irish aristocrat.
Bates spent four decades living and working in outback camps with the Aboriginal desert communities of South and Western Australia. She was a self-taught anthropologist, linguist, welfare worker, journalist, and political advisor on Indigenous policy.
Daisy hosted three royal visits to her outback camps and was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her Aboriginal welfare work in 1934.
Daisy learnt a lot from the aboriginals. Their culture, their surroundings, their food, and their country. She wrote everything down to put in the paper. She wrote lots about them.
Daisy Bates was a journalist who went to Australia to write about aboriginals.
She did it because she wanted to learn about aboriginals and the culture of them. She also wanted to learn how they did things like hunting, cooking and other things.
I chose Daisy Bates because she wrote so much about aboriginals. She had a real interest in the way they lived and how they should be treated. I also have an interest in the culture of aboriginals and how they were the first people in Australia. Additionally, I also chose her because she was a journalist and I like journalism.
