Shelters at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement ca 1920

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    "In the 1920s nothing fundamentally changed about the lot or the rights of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders removed from their homelands, but the sheer scope of the segregation policy meant that rough camps had to be turned into permanent settlements. Work stepped up at Barambah, and by the end of the decade more than 40 family cottages, girls’ and boys’ dormitories, a shop, a proper ration shed, a two-roomed school and a hospital had been built. And the settlement had a new name. After complaints from nearby Barambah Station that their mail was being wrongly directed, authorities renamed the community Cherbourg, not for any romantic French connotation but for the parish in which it sat. This is the Cherbourg that the community’s Ration Shed Museum, established in 2004 to mark the settlement’s centenary, commemorates, if not quite celebrates. And yet, despite the dark history of oppression and cruelty that surrounds it, there is much to celebrate in the heroic and uplifting stories of those who survived, and some that thrived."

Young men and boys in studio, Cardwell, 1890s

    The Girramay was an Australian Aboriginal tribe of northern Queensland. The Girramay people's traditional lands extended over some 1000mi2 south from Rockingham Bay to Cardwell. Northwards, their boundaries reached close to the upper Murray River and the Cardwell Range, and also took in inland areas of the Herbert River. The Girramay spoke the most southerly dialect of Dyirbal. The Girramay lived in a mixture of rainforest and open forest environments. Source: everything.explained.today/Girramay/

    The Girramay People are now recognised native title holders of around 475 ha in north Queensland as a key part of a broad agreement package with the Queensland Government and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council (2009). nativetitle.org.au/find/pbc/4739 www.nntt.gov.au/News-and-Publications/latest-news/Pages/G...
