Barque Stefano Shipwreck Early NW Talandji Ngarluma Aboriginal
[IV] SOME EARLY NORTH WEST INDIGENOUS WORDLISTS Josko Petkovic They spoke a language close to Talandji and were sometimes considered only to be western Talandji, but informants were sure that they had separate identities for a long time. Norman B.Tindale1 The indigenous words in the Stefano manuscript give us an important albeit small window into the languages of the North West Cape Aborigines.2 From the available information, we can now be reasonably certain that this wordlist belongs primarily to the Yinikurtira language group.3 We also know that the Yinikurtira community came to be dispersed about one hundred years ago and its members ceased using the Yinikuritra language, which is now formally designated as extinct.4 If in these circumstances we want to find something authentic about the Yinikurtira language we cannot do so by simply asking one of its living speakers. Rather, we need to look at the documents on the Yinikurtira language and culture from about a century ago and from the time when the Yinikurtira people were still living on Yinikurtira country. The documentation we have on the Yinikurtira people comes primarily from Tom Carter, who lived among the Yinikurtira community for about thirteen years.5 Carter left an extensive collection of indigenous bird names and through Daisy Bates he left a considerable vocabulary of Yinikurtira words.6 In his diaries there is an enigmatic paragraph on the languages of the North West Cape region, in which he differentiates the languages north and south of the Gascoyne River, while also invoking a commonality of languages north of the Gascoyne River: The natives of the Gascoyne Lower River were of the Inggarda tribe and spoke a quite different language from By-oong tribe of the Minilya River, only eight miles distant.

R.E. Bush, Gascoyne Explorer and Pastoralist
R.E. BUSH, GASCOYNE EXPLORER AND PASTORALIST by C.W.M. Cameron , Robert Edwin (most frequently referred to as R.E.) Bush, first interested me whenI wasresearching Frank Wittenoom. They wereofthesame age, andfriends from the time Bush came to Western Australia untiltheyboth diedwithina few months of each other, in 1939. A section in the Wittenoom book represented mostof what I knewof him until by courtesy of hisgranddaughter, Miss Tessa Bush, I received a copyofsome early journals, written to his family. Thejourneys described were at the start of his Western Australian life, a start fromwhichhe became a prosperous pastoralist and a public citizen and thenretired to England to bea countrygentleman, keeping up the tradition hisancestors hadmaintained in Gloucestershire for 400 years. Robert Bush wasbornin 1855 anddiedin 1939, having made his last of thirteen trips to W.A. in 1938. There are therefore a few who wouldremember hislater visits to W.A., but nonehis arrival in 1877. What no doubt attracted the young man of twenty-two to try his luck in W.A. was that his father, Lt. Col. Robert Bush. was in charge ofthe96thInfantry guarding theyoung Swan River settlement in the 1840s, returning to Bristol in 1851. At the age of ten young Robert Edwin went as a day boy to the new public school, Clifton College, at Bristol. There his chiefclaim to remembrance seems to havebeen that he was Captain of the school cricket and later played for Gloucestershire from 1874-7 in the time of the famous Grace brothers. This had its own results for W.A. Bush had a boarder friend at Clifton, Thomas Souther Lodge.
