Man climbing coconut palm tree at Yarrabah, 1933

    TRADITIONAL ABORIGINAL FOOD-GATHERING : TREE-CLIMBING People climbed trees for a number of reasons: To catch possums, lizards, snakes and other native animals. (These animals were also removed from trees by lighting a fire below and smoking them out, and by throwing stones at the animal, knocking it out of the tree.) To collect eggs and young birds from nests. To collect fruit and seeds from high branches. To reach native beehives for honey and wax. Beeswax was used as a seal on water containers, as a resin when making weapons, and as a fixative when making body decorations. (People didn’t always climb trees to obtain honey. Sometimes they chopped the whole tree down instead. Also, some species of native bee make hives at ground level.) To chop and strip long sheets of bark to be used for canoe-making and shelters. Throughout much of Australia, a small hatchet with a stone head was used to cut toe holds into trees to assist in climbing. In these photos, taken in the rainforests of northern Queensland, strong jungle vines (lawyer-vines or lawyer-cane) are used like ropes to assist climbing trees in search of both animals and native bee hives’ wax and honey.

    No young D. Toomey in 1911 in County Waterford. I like 10 year old Denis Toomey of Clonmel. His father, also Denis, is a Fireman at a Milk Factory

    Google maps says this Streetview shows Ballydurn Creamery, which a HAGS says closed in the 1960s, and was a satellite of Kilmeaden. The building does not appear on the 1930s Cassini map.

    Niall McAuley he could well be, and in my opinion he could be 26 or 27 in this photo.

    Maybe the tip of a Montblanc fountain pen.

    I seem to remember the "White Star pin". As I recall it was something to do with abstaining from the use of bad language. Our friend Stuart who collects such things will know.
