AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Meston covers many aspects of Aboriginal tribal life on inland Cape York, including the legend of how the jabiru became silent. 'My own opinion is that the aboriginals occupied this continent before there was any civilised race in the world.' He deplores the 'indiscriminate' shooting of Aborigines by pioneer squatters, and the further reduction in population through introduced diseases.
