Before closing my aocount of the recent Ministerial tour in the West, there are one or two pages in my notebook which I would like to transcribe, as they touch on a portion of the Darling country about which I have hardly said a word, but without reference to which the account of the tour would have been incomplete. I allude to the strip of river frontage between Pooncarie and Menindie. This latter township is indelibly associated with the history of Australia. Forty years ago, the adventurous Sturt, with a few more congenial spirits such as Stuart and Poole, started on his famous expeditions which terminated so disastrously at the Stony-desert—journeys made memorable by the death of Poole, by the total blindness of the explorer himself, and by the wide-spread belief current for a long time afterwards that the interior ot Australia was nothing but an immense barren waste.

An instance of aboriginal vengeance was revealed at Broken Hill Circuit Court on Saturday. Some time ago, at Moorara Bend on the Darling, a member of the Pooncarie tribe named Cuthroe Joe was killed, it is said, by Mildura Dick, of the Mildura tribe, who annexed Joe's lubra. Mildura Dick and others of his tribe were recently camped near some men of the Pooncarie tribe, when one of the latter, known as Devil Dick, had a duel with Mildura Dick with waddies, the cause of the fight being the death of Cuthero Joe. Mildura Dick, being a young man, had practically defeated old Devil Dick, when Mardick, or Murdoch, a finely-made black belong ing to the Pooncarie tribe, went to Devil Dick's assistance, and thrust a fish-spear into Mildura Dick's side.

DEVIL DICK said he knew Murdoch, and was camped with him and two or three others; Mildura Dick was camped in another place; witness and Mildura Dick had a fight with wad dies about breakfast time; Murdoch was there; Cuthero Joe had hidden a spear; Mildura Dick hit him (witness) several times on the head; after the fight Murdoch picked up the spear while no one was looking, and drove it into deceased's right side, and Georgie cut off the spear level with the flesh. By Mr. Hamilton: Witness and accused belonged to one tribe; Mildura Dick belonged to another; witness fought deceased about a "gin," whose brother, Cuthero Joe, he (Mil- dura Dick) murdered; all his tribe was sorry for Cuthero Joe; Mildura Dick killed him right enough; Mildura Dick was detaining the lubra; witness was beaten by Mildura Dick in the fight, and was very nearly done when Murdoch came up; the spear which was used was a rabbit spear, not a fighting spear.

Ever been to Lake Mungo, down from Broken Hill and up from Mildura?
Climbed the dunes at the Walls of China on the lunette? If you have you will have come away affected for the rest of your days. I went there on my Broken Hill trek recently and was blown away. For those unfortunate never to have been there, Lake Mungo is a dry lake in north-west NSW, and it has a lunette (half-moon) of dunes which have been caused by soil erosion over thousands of years, exacerbated since the 1800s by vegetation depletion from sheep and goat grazing and rabbit plagues. The denuding of the vegetation left the soil vulnerable to shifting and the piled up at what is called the Walls of China. This erosion and soil shifting (actually it is sand of the beach variety) has uncovered evidence of human habitation dating back 20,000 to 30,000 years. This is the place where the skull of Mungo Lady and the skeleton of Mungo Man were discovered. Giant Lake Mungo was 20 per cent bigger than we thought, say researchers. Sand dunes near Lake Mungo: Blue markers are where stone tools were found, green markers where animal food remains were found.
Photo: La Trobe University The Aboriginal people who called the arid area around Lake Mungo home some 24,000 years ago were likely accomplished inland seafarers living in what is now desert country. Results of an international study has revealed that the iconic Lake Mungo, 90 kilometres north-east of Mildura, was actually a mega-lake almost 20 per cent bigger than previously thought. After dating the sediment layers found in the nearby sand dunes, researchers established that the lake's high water mark was five metres higher than realised. Inquests Intro. Inquests in Western and some of Central New South Wales This material has been compiled by Rusheen Craig and is copyright. It has been posted for private study only. No copies may be made in any format except for private study, without written permission from the copyright holder.
Inquests were held to investigate the manner and cause of death. It was necessary to hold an inquest when the deceased person was not identified, when the cause of death was not determined, when the person died as a result of homicide, and when a person died in or attempting to escape from custody. The records of these inquests are part of the Archives Resources Kit which is held by the community access points such as libraries.
Inquests were also reported in some years in the Government Gazettes. This does not mean that the Gazette always gives the correct information.

Doukakis draws upon 60 years of NSW parliamentary debates to investigate early attitudes towards Aborigines, and towards policies and legislation which affected them. She shows that the men elected to the first democratic Parliament in NSW in 1856, and their successors to 1916, held wide-ranging views on Aborigines.
