That story is fascinating and should help to break new ground in the way people think about the origins of the white presence along the south coast. So much about the soldiers and administrators, so little about the rest. Your blog is so illuminating, that unwritten history seems just touching distance away.ciaranlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668781624804602369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-30690292751684277502010-07-04T13:45:27.373+08:002010-07-04T13:45:27.373+08:00Yes, thanks Steve ( and =l= and WY).

I wonder at how they managed to get around so easily and I think, because they were ALWAYS at sea in boats, that was normality for them, whereas we would spend most of our time out there packing ourselves ... They must have been extremely skilled seafarers.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-12016904037203160762010-07-03T19:51:46.257+08:002010-07-03T19:51:46.257+08:00Sealers and whalers used to operate from my home t...Sealers and whalers used to operate from my home town back then as well and it amazes me how far they actually traveled , a great read Sara looking forward to more<br /><br />cheers , hope the mutt is ok geez wheel nut imprint between the eyes had to laugh !Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350979127941424932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-85879307347256443152010-07-03T14:39:10.796+08:002010-07-03T14:39:10.796+08:00Hey ST, I originally wanted to be a palaentologist...Hey ST, I originally wanted to be a palaentologist, and then an artist, and then a journalist/writer.... hmmmmm I wonder if I can still get all those together in one job before I go?Dr Mad Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274692672575145183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-68249613271418266092010-07-03T14:36:44.904+08:002010-07-03T14:36:44.904+08:00Yes, WY, I expect to come out of a kind of 'fo...Yes, WY, I expect to come out of a kind of 'fog' at some point. I have done a lot of work but it is like climbing a mountain - the hardest bit is just before you reach the top and get to go down the other side, so it means pushing harder just when you don't really want to.Dr Mad Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274692672575145183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-89813917455326652842010-07-03T08:42:01.254+08:002010-07-03T08:42:01.254+08:00Damn the pressure to finish =I=

One of my heroes, John Mulvaney co wrote The Prehistory of Australia amongst many other works, and used all three disciplines and actively studied all of them. His work is so rich because of this.<br />The thing that fascinates me about this story is the confluence of all those people and cultures on one little island.<br />thanks Sontag.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-52916458962450959642010-07-02T07:49:46.992+08:002010-07-02T07:49:46.992+08:00This is great Sarah.

But I will eventually, and this is really interesting from my perspective, working with Noongar people, because it really does shed light on the relationships and how much earlier and significantly their culture was influenced by other cultures. God, why didn't I become an anthropologist instead of a bloody artist!! Maybe it's not too late.Dr Mad Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274692672575145183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-37464488891789750252010-07-02T07:29:25.137+08:002010-07-02T07:29:25.137+08:00Fascinating.
