First Nations Australians, Clarence River District, New South Wales, 1875

from State Library of New South Wales

  • Peter Hill said:
    This is an excellent example of the photographs Lindt took to make up the album, which is of great social and historical significance, but that's not the title of the album.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Interesting. Mr Lindt's Wikipedia has this (originally from the Grafton Argus of 16/11/1974) ...

    " ... "No. 6 is a group of natives comprising "King Charley", of Ulmarra, with his mother and gin; "King Charley" has the brass crescent plate round his neck which is used to denote his rank, and the war implements consisting of "boomerang," "nulla-nulla," "heliman," and "spear" are introduced together with a collection of "dilly-bags" and other appliances of domestic use." "

Cobbo with a group of people at Booubyjan

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Some Aboriginal people work for the settlers. They are dressed in European clothes, fed European food, and live in camps near the homestead. They play a vital role in the development of the Queensland pastoral industry. The owners of Booubyjan had a good relationship with the Aboriginal people who lived and worked on the station. They commissioned FW Whitehouse to paint the portrait of Cobbo, which was hung on the homestead. Source: cherbourgmemory.org/booubyja-cobbo-at-booubyjan-station-1...
