Description: This book is a tribute to Daniel O'Donovan on the third anniversary of his retirement to the Germanus Kent Aged Care home in Broome. Born in Berlin in 1934 where his father was chargé d'affaires for the Irish government, Father Daniel O'Donovan joined the Cistercian order of monks at Roscrea, County Tipperary, and came to Tarrawarra Abbey, Victoria, in the 1960s.

In 1972 he answered a call from the Benedictines of New Norcia to work in the Kimberleys. Dan has spent the past 47 years in the northwest of Australia. Although he has been at times a parish priest he is exceptional for his stints as a hermit, living adjacent to and in friendship with Indigenous communities - six years at Lombadina and twenty at Beagle Bay.

These pages outline Dan's story, with attention to his understanding of being a Christian and a contemplative. A summary of his contribution to the dialogue between Christianity and Aboriginal religion completes this booklet.
