The tribes whose manners and languages form the subject of this book belong to the Central Division, like those treated of in the two preceding books. In many of these tribes the principal article of food was a sort of flour, obtained by grinding grass-seeds, which was made into unleavened bread or mixed with water and eaten uncooked. With these tribes we come to the termination (in this neighbourhood) of the practices of circumcision and the terrible rite, a fact which is referred to at length in the prefatory remarks to Book VII. In the languages of this book it is interesting to find paroo and booloo, the two equivalents for fish, also the names of rivers. The explanation probably is that tribes which used these words (the Peake Telegraph vocabulary, for instance, contains both), having become the discoverers of these rivers, which abound in fish, named them respec- tively Paroo and Bulloo from this circumstance. In some of these languages barkoola means 2 and in others 3. No. 40.—STREAKY BAY. By D. K. Richardson, Esq., and C. Pkovis, Esq. Feom the Streaky Bay district I have received two vocabularies, both of which I have thought it desirable to insert; for though for the most part they agree, they A2 — 4 THE AUSTRALIAN RACE: have also many points of difference.

  • The Homestead As Fortress: Fact Or Folklore? Heather Burke, Lynley A
    The homestead as fortress: Fact or folklore? Heather Burke, Lynley A . Wallis, Bryce Barker, Megan Tutty, Noelene Cole, Iain Davidson, Elizabeth Hatte and Kelsey Lowe Introduction Houses are quintessential statements of identity, encoding elements of personal and social attitudes, aspirations and realities. As functional containers for human life, they reflect the exigencies of their construction and occupation, as well as the alterations that ensued as contexts, occupants and uses changed. As older houses endure into subsequent social contexts, they become drawn into later symbolic landscapes, connoting both past and present social relationships simultaneously and connecting the two via the many ways they are understood and represented in the present. As historical archaeologist Anne Yentsch has argued: ‘Many cultural values, including ideas about power relationships and social inequality, are expressed within the context of the stories surrounding houses’.1 This paper is one attempt to investigate the stories surrounding a ruined pastoral homestead in central northern Queensland in light of relationships between non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal people on the frontier. The stone ruins of Cambridge Downs homestead (Figure 1) are situated on the banks of the Stawell River in the Burke District of central north Queensland, approximately 30 kilometres north-west of the township of Richmond (Figure 2). Cambridge Downs was first established in 1864, at a time when pastoralists were expanding into much of north and west Queensland. The station continued to operate until the end of World War II, when it was divided and re-leased as part 1 Yentsch 1988: 11. 151 ABORIGINAL HISTORY VOL 41 2017 of the soldier settlement scheme.2 In celebration of Cambridge Downs’s history as a foundational European settlement for the region, the Richmond Shire Council opened a replica of the homestead in the town of Richmond in 2009 (Figure 3).

It includes reference information which will be useful for understanding Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins issued by the Bureau's Flood Warning Centre during periods of high rainfall and flooding. Contained in this document is information about: (Last updated September 2019) Flood Risk Previous Flooding Flood Forecasting Local Information Flood Warnings and Bulletins Interpreting Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins Flood Classifications Other Links Eyre Creek at Glengyle Flood Risk The Georgina River and Eyre Creek system drains an area of approximately 210,000 square kilometres. It rises to the north west of Mt Isa with three main tributaries, the Buckle, Sander and Ranken Rivers. The latter two have their headwaters in the Northern Territory. Further inflow enters the system from numerous creeks and rivers, the two main tributaries being the Burke and Hamilton Rivers. The Burke River drains the area to the north of Boulia and enters the Georgina River about 20 kilometres upstream of Marion Downs, whilst the Hamilton rises to the northeast of Boulia and enters the main Georgina below Marion Downs. Towns located within the catchment include Urandangie, Dajarra, Boulia and Bedourie. Very little rainfall is needed to bring the country to a standstill. Following flood rains, the main channel fills fairly quickly and then spreads out into the neighboring channels and watercourses for kilometres on either side.

    EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND BY THE LATE EDWARD PALMER SYDNEY ANGUS & ROBERTSON MELBOURNE: ANGUS, ROBERTSON & SHENSTONE 1903 This is a blank page TO THE NORTH-WEST. I know the land of the far, fa y away, Where the salt bush glistens in silver-grey ; Where the emit stalks with her striped brood, Searching the plains for her daily food. I know the land of the far, far west, Where the bower-bird builds her playhouse nest ; Where the dusky savage from day to day, Hunts with his tribe in their old wild way. 'Tis a land of vastness and solitude deep, Where the dry hot winds their revels keep ; The land of mirage that cheats the eye, The land of cloudless and burning sky. 'Tis a land of drought and pastures grey, Where flock-pigeons rise in vast ark ay ; Where the " nardoo" spreads its silvery sheen Over the plains where the floods have beeh. 'Tis a land of gidya and dark boree, Extended o'er plains like an inland sea, Boundless and vast, where the wild winds pass, O'er the long rollers and billows of grass. I made my home in that thirsty land, Where rivers for water are filled with sand ; Where glare and heat and storms sweep by, Where the prairie rolls to the western sky. Cloncurry, 1897. —" Loranthus." W. C. Penfold & Co., Printers, Sydney. PREFACE.
