Australian Christmases, Both Merry and Solemn, Archibald Meston , single work essay
Describes a Christmas Meston spent alone with Cape York aborigines. They feasted on sea delicacies below a 'magnificent granite mountain'. Meston recounts how 'One of the blacks had been born at the foot of that mountain, near the waterfall, and in the morning he told me the ghost of his father had come down in the night from the mountain and spoke to him.'
