1. Crossing There and Back, Crossing There and Back
1 Crossing There and Back, Living to Tell a Tale Karckynjib Wombil Moony approached the hut with caution. A friend’s wife had come with him (perhaps to help convey that the approach was friendly), but when she caught sight of the sheep, she fled. Moony bent down to a small waterhole and washed himself as white as possible. Then, climbing onto the fence above the snapping guard dogs, he took a deep breath and called out: ‘What cheer, shipmates’. A man emerged and, surprised, withdrew again. His hearing sharp with anxiety, Moony heard the man say, ‘come out Bill here is a red or yellow man standing on the rails, naked, he is not a black man, and bring the gun’. Moony knew there would be a gun. A friend had been shot dead a few months earlier approaching strangers who had landed on the coast near the mountain Bibbiringda. Just a few days before, a message had arrived from the clan on Mal Mal (now the Burdekin River): a group of men on horseback had shot a number of their kin. These were not the clumsy single-shot arms that Moony remembered; report had it they could fire 1 over and over again. At least now he knew these men spoke English. 1 Morrill told Thomas Murray-Prior that he had had difficulty understanding reports of firearms that could produce multiple shots. It was an innovation that had entered general use since Morrill had departed the industrialising world in 1846. He told C. S. Rowe he was worried that the white intruders might have been Spanish or Portuguese. -

2. Becoming First White Resident
2 Becoming First White Resident Barbara Thompson was a young Scottish woman who had migrated to Sydney with her parents and then eloped to Moreton Bay at the age of 16. With her sailor husband and a few others, Thompson took a small vessel to the Torres Strait, aiming to salvage material from a wrecked ship, but they were driven onto rocks by a storm and wrecked themselves. Her husband and their other companions drowned, but Thompson was pulled from the water by a man named Boroto who was part of an islander turtling party also caught in the storm. Thompson was adopted as the returned granddaughter of a man named Pequi and his eldest wife, and lived with his extended family among the Kaurareg people of Morolug (today known as Price of Wales Island).1 In 1848 and 1849, a scientific ship named the Rattlesnake made two visits to the Torres Strait; on the second of these visits, Thompson introduced herself, having spent about five years living in the strait. Some members of the Rattlesnake party had met some of the same islanders the previous year and were already on familiar and friendly terms (Thompson had been ill with a fever on this occasion).2 The ship remained alongside the island for several weeks and Thompson lived on board, spending much of her time talking with the young naturalist Oswald Brierly, who made a detailed record of their conversations. Thompson’s adoptive kin wanted her to stay with them, but she decided to return to Sydney with the Rattlesnake, stating simply, ‘I am a Christian’.3 1 Moore, Islanders and Aborigines at Cape York, 7–8. -
"WILD WHITE MEN" in QUEENSLAND [By SIR RAPHAEL CILENTO and CLEM L
73 "WILD WHITE MEN" IN QUEENSLAND [By SIR RAPHAEL CILENTO and CLEM L. LACK] (Read before the Royal Historical Society of Queens land, March 19, 1959) After the "prohibited area" of fifty miles round the Penal Settlement at Moreton Bay was opened up in 1840-42, waves of minor exploration flowed along the two native trails that threaded its untouched jungle. They brought to light many odd things that had been half-legendary, including several "wild white men" living as blacks, with the blacks. Some of them played a part later as guides and interpreters. In the convict days, and especially under the grim threat of Logan's ever-swinging lash (1825rl830), the mysterious "bush" with its towering trees, dense undergrowth, swamps, caves, fortress-like rocks and hills, torrents and tangles of creepers, had seemed a haven to many a desperate man. Accustomed already to sandflies, mosquitoes and the myriad minor pests against which they had no protection in their barracks; free occasionally to forage afield where game seemed plentiful; (i* in closer contact than free men with the half-tamed blacks that haunted the fringes of the settlement; and, in many cases, so profoundly ignorant that they were unaware of the risks they ran, or entirely indifferent to them, they fled to the sombre forest, singly, or in twos or threes. Most of them hovered on the outskirts of the settlement till famine or fear overtook them and drove them back again, like truant schoolboys in a day, a week or a month. Others died swiftly by spear or club or sheer starva tion, lost in the wilderness. -
17 a Checklist of Colonial Era Musical Transcriptions of Australian Indigenous Songs
17 A checklist of colonial era musical transcriptions of Australian Indigenous songs Graeme Skinner1 and Jim Wafer2 University of Sydney1 and University of Newcastle2 Abstract This checklist is intended as a basic resource guide for those who wish to explore the revitalisation of Indigenous song traditions using colonial era documentation of ancestral songs, in the form of written musical transcriptions or mechanical recordings made with early sound-capture technology. It includes a range of pertinent data on 113 songs from the colonial era; that is, notionally from first contact to 1 January 1901, though here actually from c.1789 to 1903. For each song, this checklist provides details of the sources and a link to the musical transcription or sound file. As well, it includes the song text and a gloss (where available), further bibliography, and information on likely regional affiliations, both linguistic and musical. These resources will be useful to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people undertaking song revitalisation projects and also to researchers interested in reconstructing the musical profiles of those parts of Indigenous Australia where the ancestral performance traditions suffered severe damage in the colonial era. We are not suggesting that the list is complete or exhaustive; indeed, we hope that by printing it here as a work in progress we might encourage others to look for, and in due course, report on yet more relevant musical survivals. This checklist also serves as a bibliographic appendix to the other chapters in the present volume that are concerned specifically with Australian historical ethnomusicology, in particular those by Skinner (chapter 16), McDonald (chapter 7) and Wafer (chapter 9). -
