With no known surviving oral tradition for how and who would make the fish -hooks and use them in this area, the historical and archaeological records become more important. What do we know? Shell fish -hooks were observed and reported on by a number of people from the First Fleet.

  • Awabakal Nature Reserve
    Awabakal Nature reserve reference handbook LOCATION MAP ISBN 0-9757225-0-6 December 2004 AWABAKAL NATURE RESERVE Reference Handbook Second Edition Edited by Carolyn Gillard Wetlands Environmental Education Centre The Wetlands Centre Original Illustrations by Rhonda Ellem FOREWORD Twenty years have elapsed since this excellent reference handbook was produced. Indeed, its genesis goes back even further to earlier background papers on the natural history of the Dudley – Redhead area produced in 1975 by the former Awabakal Association for Environmental Education (later the Association for Environmental Education – Hunter Region). The credit for producing the original version of this booklet must go to Brian Gilligan, the first appointed Teacher-in-Charge of the Awabakal Field Studies Centre. In 1976, Brian brought together an assemblage of papers and articles by various authors, and with the skilled assistance of wildlife illustrator, Rhonda Ellem, and the cooperation of typist Judy Kay, the first batch of copies of this booklet were printed. As most people know, Brian later moved on to become Director-General of the National Parks and Wildlife Service of NSW. Since the time of this booklet’s initial production, there have been several reprintings. Many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of students and teachers have benefited from the existence of this highly valued resource. It has provided essential background reference material for undertaking field studies in the Awabakal Nature Reserve and adjacent bushland. The booklet had seen the passage of two decades, during which time the focus for the administration of environmental education programs has shifted to The Wetlands Centre at Shortland whilst complementary programs have continued to emanate from the Dudley site.

The drawings, each measuring approximately 17.8 x 28 cm, depict aspects of Aboriginal life in New South Wales. The album, bound in half morocco leather and measuring 34 x 23.5 cm, appears to have been assembled at a later date. The title page carries an inscription which incorrectly identifies the contents as 'Drawings of the Natives & Scenery of Van Diemens Land 1830'. The album was offered for sale by Mrs C.E.

  • Christianity, Colonialism, and Cross-Cultural Translation: Lancelot Threlkeld, Biraban, and the Awabakal
    Christianity, colonialism, and cross-cultural translation: Lancelot Threlkeld, Biraban, and the Awabakal Anne Keary This essay aims to reconstruct a cross-cultural conversation about sacred matters between Lancelot Threlkeld, a missionary with the London Missionary Society (LMS), and Biraban, a leading man of the Awabakal of eastern Australia. Between 1825 and 1841, Threlkeld devoted himself to learning the language of the Awabakal in hopes of converting them to Christianity, while Biraban, his principal language teacher, helped him translate Christian concepts and educated him about Awabakal traditions. The records of their endeavours are preserved, albeit in an edited and fragmented form, in the missionary’s grammars, vocabularies and Scriptural translations. A close examination of these linguistic texts reveals, in outline, the dynamics of a complex, multi-faceted exchange. Read carefully – and in conjunction with Threlkeld’s other writings – these texts yield new insights into the cross-cultural translation and indigenous reception of Christianity during an early period of British colonisation.1 Threlkeld’s voluminous writings have been the subject of numerous studies. Most scholars have focused on his letters and public reports. Threlkeld 1 A note on terminology: most contemporary scholars use the name Awabakal to refer to both the people who lived around Lake Macquarie and their language. However, it should be noted that the name Awabakal is a relatively recent invention. It appears to have been given to the ‘Lake Macquarie’ people by John Fraser when he edited and republished Threlkeld’s writings under the title The Australian Language as Spoken by the Awabakal, the People of Lake Macquarie, being an account of their language, traditions, and customs (Threlkeld 1892).
