Under the authorities of the white people in colonized Australia, both the Aboriginals and the white have their own stories to tell. The Aboriginals as men and women commonly experience exploitation in the hands of the white and in specific cases; even the white women became the victims of exploitation on the cattle stations, run and managed by the white men. The Aboriginals are restricted from being idle. In case they don't work, they are not entertained to stay on the stations. They are not paid wages for their work. Due to the cruel treatment the people on the stations receive from their white bosses, there are many painful memories of their lives associated to the cattle stations. The cattle stations are like graveyards, filled with memories. Series of deaths are found to occur on the cattle stations for various seasons. David Milroy's Windmill Baby, the winner of Patrick White Award (2003) serves as an album to the memories associated to an abandoned cattle station. Old Maymay, the narrator of the story accounts to her audience, the exploitation that the Australian Aboriginal men, women, and the missus - a white woman and the wife of the boss undergo on a cattle station. Pain, suffering, insult, love, loss, death, and cruelty are found to occur in the play due to the way the residents are treated. The present paper focuses on the exploitation that the people have undergone on an abandoned cattle station.
