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

    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.

    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." "

View of sunset from Palm Island

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    It's hot and cramped on the light plane, but the flight is smooth, and as we begin to descend we peer out the window, to marvel at the view and take pictures with our phones. It's worth it. The view of Palm Island from the air is stunning. Clear blue water and green hills of tropical rainforest. The island is off the north Queensland coast, just a 20-minute flight from Townsville. Indigenous people first began living on Palm Island in 1918, when it was set up as a mission. For years, Aborigines were sent there from across Australia. They came from different tribes and places, spoke different languages, and had different customs. Now, nearly 100 years after it was first established, more than four thousand people live on the Island. Palm Islanders are known as the 'Bwgcolman People', meaning 'many tribes, one people. It's an acknowledgment that Palm Islanders share a history with over forty different clans. Source: www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2014-03-14/life-on-palm/5318920
