'The invitation to write for the Meanjin magazine is welcomed in the spirit of Reconciliation and Truth-telling. I share from my Goori doogal (Aboriginal heart) about my family and tribes, culture and history with colonisation; our Wularanguru historical language mapping project; and of matters still to be resolved, including the original language placenames. ‘Brisbane, port, the capital of Queensland, Australia and the country’s third largest city. It lies astride the Brisbane River on the southern slopes of the Taylor Range, 12 miles (19 km) above the river’s mouth at Moreton Bay.’' (Introduction)
Notes
-
Epigraph: Every tribe … has its own dialect, if not language … stamps their locality much, know every acre of land belonging to their ‘home’… each plant, flower, tree, shrub, grass, bird, beast, insect … every mile of a river or watercourse its own appellation, from the highest source to the mouth or junction always had a name of its own.
—Henry Stuart Russell
