AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Meston describes early visits to Bribie Island by Flinders and Oxley. He contrasts Oxley's account of a large and vital indigenous population with present dwindling numbers both on Bribie and around Moreton Bay. He reminds his readers of the kindness shown by Aborigines to Oxley's informants, the wrecked mariners Pamphlet and Finnegan, 'though many blacks would then remember the cowardly shooting by Flinders only twenty-four years before.'
