A comparison of the exploring experiences of Australian explorer Thomas Mitchell with those of his American counterparts Lewis and Clark shows certain similarities; their difficulty in talking to the indigenous people, their respect for indigenous property, the suspicion of the indigenous people that whites were not really men but spirits of some sort and their anxiety to get the explorers out of their territory as quickly as possible. But the differences between the Australian and the American experiences were greater and more important. Lewis and Clark, both born in Virginia, came from a society established there for generations. They were at home anywhere in America; they lived off the land and had close relations, usually amicable, with the native born Indians. None of the Australian explorers were born in the country which to them was a strange and often frightening land. They carried their food with them and rarely had more than tenuous relations with the Aborigines. Yet Mitchell was more thoughtful than the Americans about the nature of the indigenous people and their future relations with white society.

One of the tasks often given to Aboriginal people on the Australian frontier was that of messenger, and the messages they carried, usually letters, came to be known by the Pidgin English phrase 'paper yabber' or, less commonly, 'paper talk'. The first part of the paper will examine characteristic features of the Aboriginal role as messenger, or 'mailman'. The second part is a study of the Australian folklore that sprang up around the practice, in particular the seemingly ubiquitous story of paper yabber and the 'tobacco thief'. In tracing the history of this story, and its variants, one not only gets an insight into the function of popular stereotypes, but also the mechanisms by which they are transmitted.

A paper written by Canadian anthropologist Diane Barwick to help the 1979 Aboriginal Treaty Committee in discussions on a possible Treaty with Australian Aboriginal people is presented. She offers information on earlier North American treaties between the government and Indian natives in Canada and the United States to aid the process.

An account of a westward expedition of some Aborigines, mostly members of the first Aboriginal Police Corps in the Port Phillip District, from Melbourne in 1838 is presented. Several discrepancies in the story, resulting in the conviction of seven men variously for killing sheep, taking potatoes and killing a European, are highlighted.

This essay discusses what is involved in making oral literature in Australian languages, especially songs, accessible to speakers of English. It offers a variety of linguistic, technical and above all historical and cultural reasons why so little has been attempted, and why so few of the attempts have been successful. One group of examples of oral literature given, were contributed by the last generation of the Wangaaybuwan people who can still speak their language, Ngiyambaa.

In connection with the Maralinga Project it has been decided to establish a permanent meteorological radar station at the nominal 600 mile point along the centre line of the range. The exact point cannot be determined until a more detailed reconnaissance is made. ... It is proposed now that a joint reconnaissance and construction team should leave Finke on the Adelaide–Alice Springs railway line, about 5th November 1955, and travel across through Mount Davies to the general area in which it is felt the final point may be chosen.1 In December of the same year, the reconnaissance survey team chose a site in the Rawlinson Ranges, WA. The patrol officer accompanying the team on this survey later termed it a ‘rush trip’ in which ‘there was no attempt made to select a site that would interfere as little as possible with the Aborigines’.2 Some months later, Len Beadell, then Chief Surveyor of the WRE, graded a track from Mulga Park to the Rawlinson Ranges, where the meteorological station, named Giles in honour of the explorer,3 was to be built.

The dispossession of the Aboriginal people in south eastern Australia was followed not by the disappearance of Aboriginal groups but by the development of separate part-Aboriginal communities, for the spirit of survival and adaptation in Aboriginal society is as strong as in any other. These communities have fought for recognition despite attempts to legislate them out of existence. They have either been isolated from 'white' society because they have been considered too Aboriginal, or they have been denied Aboriginal legal status because they have been considered too European. Above all they have been considered incapable of self-determination. This article explores the emergence and development of one part-Aboriginal community in south eastern Australia in the nineteenth century, the Cape Barren Islanders. It focuses upon their relations with the 'authorities' and 'outsiders' who made periodic attempts to change their identity and economy. The Islanders' resistance to these efforts is examined and their techniques for survival investigated.

The author seeks to examine the role of missionaries - in particular that of the Reverend JRB Love - in 'negotiating' the relative place of the colonising language, English, and an Indigenous language, Pitjantjatjara, in the life of an Aboriginal mission station, Ernabella, in Central Australia in the early 1940s. Lest there be any confusion, Love was also a 'translator' in the narrower sense, being involved at the mission in the conversion of part of the biblical text to the Indigenous language. This is an instructive story in itself that this article can only touch on, but I am more interested here in examining his role in, and his rationale for, advocating and attempting to negotiate a bilingual language policy at the mission site against an opposing vernacular-only policy.
