Men working with new platform and truck line, Yarrabah, ca.1923

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Cultural practices, particularly language ceremonies and beliefs were all suppressed during these mission days. Traditional values were transformed swiftly to adopt clothing, and Christianity replaced traditional creation stories. Hunter gathering was discouraged and with the arrival of people from other cultural groups, Gungganji cultural protocols were dismissed. While the Christian missions did help save many Aboriginal people from perishing at the hands of new settlers under the Act of 1897 they controlled curfews, employment, wages, marriages, alcohol and movement outside the mission.

    The verso would imply between 1901 and 1910.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Electric light hints at a while after 1870. The reverse side has Mr Chancellor claiming a "Royal Warrant to H. M. The King", which implies after 1901.

    [Aside] I was wondering just yesterday how much is a 'knob of butter' ?!
