Melanesia: Travel in Black Oceania with Hamish McDonald

Stretching from Fiji to New Guinea, Melanesia is home to over 1200 language groups and some of the most extraordinary cultures on earth. Yet in Australia, we mostly only hear about the region when something goes wrong. 

Journalist Hamish McDonald wants to change that. Join him for a conversation about the people and places behind the headlines, drawing on his latest book Melanesia.

Hamish McDonald is an award-winning journalist and former foreign editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, with decades of experience reporting across the Pacific, Asia and beyond.
