Barbara Miller is married to Norman, an Aboriginal Australian. She has a son, Michael. They live in Cairns, Far North Queensland. Barbara is a pastor, mediator, psychologist and teacher and has had a keen interest in working for Aboriginal advancement since 1970. She was instrumental in the movement of the Mapoon Aboriginal people back to their land in 1974 after they had been moved off by police to make way for a mining company and she recorded their stand. Also, she was very involved in the setting up of the North Queensland Land Council in 1975 to work for land rights and self-determination for Aboriginal people against the background of the discriminatory Queensland Aborigines Act. The Human Rights Commission asked her to write a report on this and she did a case study on Yarrabah.
