The home front : life in Australia during World War II by Rosemary Clark

During WW2, some White Australians and Indigenous Australians got their first real contact with each other. There was a job to be done and all of a sudden the colour line disappeared claimed Oodgeroo Noonucal, an Aboriginal poet and political activist. Many Indigenous Australians benefited from the war because men worked in war industries or joined the service. There were even Aboriginal and Torres Strait units formed in remote Northern Australia. They in turn received better training, pay and more social contact than they'd ever had before.
