Other Times : Yuranigh, single work biography

'Yuranigh, an Aboriginal Guide belonged to the Molong district, New South Wales. He was one of three Aborigines who joined Sir Thomas Mitchell and his twenty-nine men soon after they set out from Boree, near Molong, in December 1845 on the journey of exploration that took them to central Queensland. Yuranigh was first mentioned in Mitchell's journal three weeks after the start of the journey when he tracked and brought back to camp three cattle that had strayed. Thereafter he was frequently and gratefully referred to for finding water, scanning the country from lofty trees, pacifying the Aborigines who shadowed the expedition, and generally imparting bush lore.'
