Many Maps: Charting Two Cultures: First Nations Australians and European Settlers in Western Australia is an award-winning non-fiction book written by Bill Bunbury and Jenny Bunbury, published in 2020 by UWA Publishing. The book explores how two contrasting societies fundamentally misunderstood—and occasionally arrived at sensitive understandings of—each other and the landscape they shared across 170 years of Western Australian history. Core Theme: Two Types of "Maps "The central premise of the book relies on "maps" as metaphors for cultural worldview, showcasing how the two societies navigated and valued the same physical space: First Nations' Maps: Represent a deeply spiritual, animate, and environmental relationship to Country. Indigenous mapping is woven through Songlines, kinship, seasonal patterns, and ancestral custodianship. European Settlers' Maps: Represent physical borders, property lines, and resource tracking. These maps were carried in the minds of colonisers looking for ways to extract economic wealth and ownership from the Australian earth. Key Features of the Book Award-Winning Research: The book won the 2021 Royal Western Australian Historical Society (RWAHS) Williams Lee Steere Prize and shared the 2021 Oral History Australia Book Award. Oral History Focus: The narrative heavily leverages extensive archival radio interviews conducted by Bill Bunbury during his career with ABC Radio National. Structure: Across six detailed chapters, it balances official colonial documentation and historical statements with modern Aboriginal custodial testimonies and contemporary interpretive commentary. A Vision for the Future: The final chapter, titled "The Past Is Still Part of Us", tackles the "unfinished business" of Australian race relations while offering a path forward to build a shared, collaborative "new map". About the Authors: Bill Bunbury (AO): A veteran broadcaster and social historian who migrated to WA in 1963. He has won a UN Australia Peace Prize and an Order of Australia for his extensive broadcasting work alongside Noongar and other Indigenous communities. Jenny Bunbury: A modern history graduate from Durham University who worked for 30 years as a public service policy officer and manager, specializing in regional Aboriginal-Wadjela (Noongar term for white person) relations. …

The title Many Maps, Charting Two Cultures, looks at the way two contrasting societies often misunderstood each other in the western third of Australia. Maps can be drawn and interpreted in different ways. It is possible to map a path through life, find a way through a forest, traverse a desert or chart a sense of self and guide one's relationship to the natural world.
Australia's First Nations mapped their world in terms of a spiritual and environmental relationship to country and an animate sense of being. The maps in European heads often explored ways to obtain wealth from the Australian earth. Many Maps traces both misunderstandings, and sometimes sensitive understandings of land and culture in a continent that we both inhabit.
