His father was a second-generation Irish descendant, his mother an Indigenous Australian.〔〔〔 His younger brother, Laurie, was born three and a half years later.〔 His family moved to southern Queensland in early 1950, and he grew up on a cattle station near Goranba, west of Dalby in the Darling Downs area of south eastern Queensland.〔〔 His parents worked as drovers, moving cattle along stock routes.〔 At ten years of age, Carmody and his brother were taken from their parents under the assimilation policy as part of the Stolen Generations and sent to a Catholic school in Toowoomba.〔〔〔 〕 After schooling, he returned to his rural roots and worked for seventeen years as a country labourer,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kev Carmody receives Honorary Degree of Doctor )〕 including droving, shearing, bag lumping, wool pressing and welding.〔 In 1967, he married Helen, with whom he has three sons; they later divorced but remain "good mates".〔 In 1978, at the age of 33, Carmody enrolled in university,〔 Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education. Due to his limited schooling, Carmody’s reading and writing skills were not up to required university standard. Undeterred, he suggested to the history tutor that until his writing was suitable he would present his research in a musical format accompanied by guitar.〔 While this was a novel approach at university, it was in line with the far older indigenous tradition of oral history. Although Carmody had extensive historical knowledge, learnt by oral traditions, much of it could not be found in library history books and was attributed to 'unpublished works'.〔 Carmody completed his Bachelor of Arts degree,〔 then postgraduate studies and a Diploma of Education at the University of Queensland, followed by commencing a PhD in History, on the Darling Downs 1830–1860.〔 Whilst at university, Carmody had used music as a means of implementing oral history in tutorials, which led to his later career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kev Carmody」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
