  • Pp.206-218 Wilson Old Friends
    206 Australian Folklore 26, 2011 Old Friends, Rich Relations: Early Days on the Richmond and Clarence Rivers Edwin Wilson* I was born into the then isolated farming community at East Wardell in 1942, on the Richmond River (far north coast of New South Wales). A formative ten years of my early life (from 1948–1958) had been spent at Mullumbimby,1 but my heartland had extended from the Clarence to the Tweed. This Paradise had been settled from the 1840s in a Red Gold Rush by the feckless and the dispossessed, and people trying to better themselves—by emancipists, adventurers, and remittance men—for had they been settled, they’d have happily stayed where they were. The far north coast had been a wild and lawless place, with no roads or constabulary, and a considerable shortage of women. Farming communities had been established on the floodplains of the Hawkesbury River from the early days of the Colony. Their children travelled north in search of other rivers that provided roads into the wooded hinterlands, looking for cedar trees, and lime (from burning shells), and farming land. Sadly most Promised Lands are occupied. This greater expansion resulted in frontier conflict all along its moving edge, and the ultimate dispossession of the river tribes, and a degree of fraternizing with the enemy. Until quite recently this dispossession had been airbrushed from our psyches, for the Aborigines had fought back, to try to retain their traditional hunting grounds. The Clarence River countryside was more open than the Richmond, and the aborigines more ‘warlike’ in defending their patch, with reports of murders of white shepherds, and much retaliation by the whites with guns and cyanide.2 * Edwin Wilson is a Sydney-based painter and poet and author of twenty one books.
