There were no class divisions in the CJL. groups through

Those dances take more than one genaration to make the eirooit amd

come bukk to a new generation as new dances. It is doubtfnl if

such a meeting will ever occur again on the old native highway* far

both these dances require large mohs for their performance and

4 the writer has seen more than one attempt to celebrate these dances

-'W

vh'-'Vv

In new areas, but the attempt always failed thre leek of perfcrmmxs^

audience and women. The writer may therefore be the last white

person to witness the meeting of these old ancestral daaces* as

' she has witnessed the passing ef the last members of many tribe#

and groups*

Wylie the aborigine who aoeonpanied ]^re on his exploration

tour across the Great Australian ^ght, was a aeaber of the great

Bibbulffion race of the Southwest of Westein Australia, the

greatest homogeneous group in all Australia, remnants of the first

(uncircuBcised) hordes who were being absorbed b/ the seoond

(circumcised) hordes along their eastern and northern borders at

the time of white settlement. The Bibbulman were not eannibals,

the fertile Southwest of W.A, with its sea, land and rirers

teeming with food of all hinds, infanticide was only practised

when twins came, the reason being magical rather than eeonomio.

White men found the Bibbulmun the most faithful and depend

able of all aborigines. Stohos took Maiago - a Perth man, up

,.« Bor'West coaat in the Beagle^ ihrrest had 2£inditch and Tommy

Pierre and Dower - a l^o Bihhulmua. Grey also had some Bibh^xlaun

on his journey t© Perth frwa Ganthanme Bay, and all were absol-ateiy

faithful. (Insertion here - see P. 8?)

If ftylie had gone with the Port lincoln blacks who murdered

Baxter, they would hare been killed and eaten him at the first

opportunity. The two murderers were killed and eaten either by

the Eucla district blacks or the Xlgamba (Bight Head) group.

Ill the circumcised hordes were and are cannibals from choice and

custom as well as from necessity, but fXom Porrest and other white

men's high opinion of the Bibbulmun natives who acted as their

guides and friends it was not the fear of being eaten that kept

liyiie faithful to E^yra - it was the instinct within the Bibbulmun

«an to be true to his trust.

(Back to P. 86)

Bene of these aborigines went unrewarded# Porrest saw that

his "mates * were looked after until their death, p^re not only

sent Wylie a handsome brass mounted gun from England, but also made

arrangements for his material welfare#

What became of the gun the writer could not discover duringthe Bibbulmuh of the Albaty area

ber travels amongst the Bibbulmun# They/received Flinders in

their kindly way and shipwrecked people were treated well by them.

It is a curious faet that their practical extinction was not due

either te misdemeanor on their part or cruelty on the part of the•^,t 8,7

white settlers, but to the oontaot of extremes - the sudden impact

ef the Stone Age man with the nineteenth centuiy nan. Bibbulmun

tnemselves held the fatalistic belief that the meesya (smell) of

the whites killed them (meenym jangga meenya be-mung-gur, the

mnell ef the "spirit" (Jmngga «• ifelte man) kills us. White peeple

may smile at this saying coming trim, a people who only washed iKhen

they swatm in the rivers, but scientists know that every primitive

raee has each its distinct edour aiad even thou^ the odour ef the

British is minimised by dally "tubbing" it vms still an alien edeur

te the Bibbulmun and anything alien or foreign was "evil", "spirit",

the writer only found one - Juhaitch of the Berth-Guildford area •

who lived to be an old man. Stoketf, Grey's and £yre*s and Eorrest's

native friends became their "annuitants", so to speah, and the

absence of exertion in procuring their food - the ohaage of food,

to conform to, had part in their extinction and a fine race jessed out.

Until the northern class system lapsed altogether, I feosd that it

ceased at a point between the Eastern Goldfields of WJ^. and the

border of S.A. and W«A. I opine that its deel^r was due to the

breapiewn of the divisions owing to the aafly hreaehes of this

eonstantly occurring. Groups vdxose members had oosnitted this

breach brolce away from their parent group, so to speah, and formed

separate groups with the new change of class division.

An old and nearly "blind woman came by a leap fuU. tilt against

and his thunadha group had been some time amongst the white people

and had already learned their vices end experienced a few impris

onments as a result of his sampling of those vices.

Of course all were naied and innocent on their arrival,

and some clothing was found for them by the white folk, Janjinifu

was taken to the train,the new "begging" firom passengers having

bean explained to her, and so, although she could not see, she held

out a 8h€Lking hand for gifts - the regular puffing of the engine

like the breathings of the fabulous monsters of her people's myths .

must have been moat alarming, but she stood her ground and as it

happens, there were vejy gsnerous folk oa the train that day, and

so many gifts were showered on Janjingu that, not being able to

hold all the food, she simply shed her one garment and held it

out to receive further gifts - the result being a sudden scatter

From primitive ooxrobor^ to British srichet is a "big iump, hut

hefore the i^ih^^uisaun of the Victoria Blaias district thew latheir hat ia the game with clvlllsatioa they had brought the old

frenzied glory of their great ancestral corrohorees into the

of cricket, wdiich they picked up in the iiO*s from idiite settlers

round the Mission. Bishop Salrado, knowing what a strong link

the corrohoree was in maintaining the traditions of the tribes,

bethought himself that some games mi^t be introduced amongst them

which would take the place of the corrohoree and in time wean thest

from the gld gatherings with their attendant Bonnybrooks and

find pleasure in a good game of some kind. The observant Bishop

saw the absorption of the young native men in cricket as played

by the white settlers, and he thoughtfu^set a field apart for

these young white farmers, most of whoa were his co-religionist#

and tenants.

nn- ^^6They were keener of sight and made better and auicker play

wnth their feet than their white fellow cricketers. Their field

ing was marvellous and their batting almost faultless. The Blbbul-

mun used no shields in their fl^ts and spear and club throwing

and dodging developed the ^uiok sight play and foot and agile

limbs that made for success in erioket.

They loved r\ms - and every man amongst th^ was ambitious to top

the score. Active and lithe, there was never ar\y slow work amoagst

them during the game. They bowled with accuracy, involuntarily

studying the wind as they raised their bowl arm. Their enthusiassk

never flagged - they wore "live wires" from beginning to end of

the gai&e. Year after year matohes were arranged
