 PREFACE. 
 
 When the Author first commenced the present com- 
 pilation of the Language of the Aborigines of the 
 Colony of Victoria, it was his intention to have com- 
 bined with it a lucid description of the customs, 
 primitive habits, and religious superstitions, of a people 
 who are evidently fast sharing the fate of their savage 
 prototypes of the adjoining islands. 
 
 But after finishing the Language, to which is 
 appended some specimens in dialogue, he discovered 
 that to accomplish his original design, touching their 
 customs and ceremonies, would be to extend the work 
 beyond the prescribed limit, and thereby incurring 
 (unless the public award a liberal patronage) expenses 
 beyond the Author's means ; he therefore finds himself 
 compelled to give only a short sketch of that which he 
 1 had originally intended to have published at length ; 
 should, however, sufficient encouragement be given to 
 the present work, the Author will be happy to furnish, 
 from the abundant materials at his command, a separate 
 work, treating on that subject, so little known, the 
 habits and customs of the Aborigines of Australia. 
 
 It is trusted that the work in its present form will 
 answer the end for which it was intended, namely as 
 an assistant to parties engaged in civilizing, Christianiz-

 ing, and otherwise ameliorating, the condition of this 
 most unfortunate race of human beings a " consumma- 
 tion devoutly to be wished," but which, he fears, unless 
 parties employed in the cause have a knowledge of their 
 language, will be a work of slow accomplishment. 
 
 Many opinions have been advanced as to the whole 
 of the aboriginal natives of Australia having originally 
 Fprung from one stock or family. These opinions are 
 founded on hypothesis only, from the similarity of many 
 words used by tribes the most remotely situated. For 
 this reason, and for the purpose of enabling the reader 
 to judge for himself, the Author has devoted a few pages 
 of the leading words of the various tribes through which 
 it has been his lot to travel, and with whom, by these 
 means, he has held communication. Of the similarity 
 or otherwise of the idiom in use by the different tribes? 
 the reader can draw his own conclusion. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 To treat on the habits and customs of the Australian 
 Aborigines in the limited space alloted to the Author, 
 he feels that he shall scarcely be able to do either the 
 subject, or that ill-used race of people, the justice to 
 which they are in every way entitled, but which has 
 been so long withheld from them. 
 
 The object of the present introduction is to lay 
 before the reader, in as brief a form as possible, the 
 leading features of a very interesting race of people, 
 who are generally supposed to possess but little of the 
 intellectuality with which their more favored white 
 brethren are gifted. Than such a conclusion nothing 
 could be more unreal in fact, or unjust to those to 
 whom the imputation is implied, few people possessing 
 closer reasoning powers, or having observing faculties 
 of a higher order. This is not a passing remark of 
 the moment, but the assertion of an individual who has 
 devoted some fifteen years of his life to the subject. 
 
 Of their religious belief the Author has found but 
 little proof, after a close observance, of any thing like a 
 settled form or creed ; nor does he believe that they 
 have the slightest idea of a hereafter. All the blacks, 
 to whom he has addresed himself on this matter, assured 
 him that death to them was the same as to a dog. He 
 has frequently held conversations on the subject of the 
 existence of a soul or living principle after the death of 
 the body ; their invariable answer has been, " Don't you 
 believe it, my boy, that fellow tumble down (die) like 
 a dog."

It is a gratifying fact, however, to learn that much is 
 being done by our worthy Bishop to civilise them, 
 and I doubt not that, by the parties employed as 
 instruments acquiring a knowledge of their language 
 and manners, his Lordship's efforts will be ultimately 
 crowned with success. The Melbourne, called the 
 Doutta Galla, or, more properly speaking, the N' uther 
 Galla tribe, worship the Pleiades, which they call 
 Moonmoondick, but it has often struck the Author that 
 they have seldom endeavoured to propitiate this Divinity 
 unless when some good office was required from her. 
 Frequently, when travelling with his black companion, 
 Jemmy, he has observed him humming corroborees or 
 incantations when it was raining, and if his prayers 
 failed to lead to a cessation of the rain, he has got up 
 in the most violent rage, and commenced throwing 
 ashes in the direction of that constellation, making the 
 most hideous contortions of face, and saying, " T'see 
 waugh," which word denotes the most utter contempt 
 of those to whom it is addressed. Towards the full 
 of the moon their orisons are directed to the constella- 
 tion Orion, or, as it is by them called, Wallinjerry, 
 meaning a giant, (the Moonmoondick or Pleiades 
 means a virgin) ; to all his enquiries respecting the 
 reason of these ceremonies, he could never succeed in 
 obtaining a satisfactory answer. 
 
 In burying their dead, each tribe adopts a different 
 ceremonial, some burying them decently and deeply ; 
 and, after filling the graves, they are neatly finished with 
 a net or basket work, made of the small wattle twigs. 
 This is the custom at Melbourne. Others, again, merely 
 
vn. 
 
 lay the bodies at full length on their backs, on a kind of 
 scaffolding. Some of these objects are, or were, to 
 be seen at Lake Alexandrina, near the residence of Mr. 
 Raye. 
 
 No tribe that I have met with believes in the pos- 
 sibility of one's dying a natural death, which may 
 account for their very limited population. If one of 
 their number is taken ill, it is supposed that some one 
 of a hostile tribe has clandestinely stolen some of his 
 or her hair, a circumstance surely attended with illness. 
 If the person continues sick for any length of time, they 
 believe that the thief has not only stolen but burnt the 
 hair. If the illness is attended by death, it is at once 
 pronounced that the thief has choked and caused the 
 death of the deceased, and finished his blood-thirsty 
 inclinations by taking away the kidney fat of his victim. 
 When the grave is being dug, preparatory to the burying 
 of the corpse, one or more of the older men, generally 
 doctors or conjurers, called Bucknalook, stand by atten- 
 tively watching the laborers, and the moment an insect 
 is thrown up, these old men watch in which direction 
 it moves, and after it has made a fair start, one or two 
 of the young men, relations of the deceased, are 
 desired to follow the insect, and the first native they 
 meet they are to kill as a sacrifice to the manes 
 of the departed, and as being the party who stole 
 the hair, and thereby caused the death of their 
 relative. 
 
 Another custom, as singular as it is universally 
 adopted, is that of not allowing any of the junior 
 branches to have a voice around their council fires, 
 
Vlll. 
 
 nor are tliey treated in any manner as men, nor allowed 
 to take to themselves a wife or wives (for polygamy is 
 allowed among them) until they have had their allotted 
 probation at the Kipper ground. On their return from 
 this ceremony they are allowed all the privileges of men, 
 or perhaps they are, to use the English phrase, come of 
 age. It has been, however, frequently remarked that 
 many of those who have gone to this ceremony have not 
 returned, and it may be presumed that this circumstance 
 was attributable to their not having had sufficient nerve 
 to enable them to withstand all the frightful ceremonies 
 used on the occasion, or to their sinking under the 
 fatigue of the terrible ordeal. The whole of the men, from 
 whom the Author has endeavoured (and in only three 
 cases has he been successful) to obtain information, 
 have given their evidence very unwillingly, and in every 
 instance represented the formula used on similar 
 occasions as being horrible in the extreme. 
 
 The temptation for them to enrol themselves as 
 men is, however, so great, that, to avail themselves of 
 those privileges, they are all anxious to undergo the 
 ordeal. 
 
 Among other inconveniences felt by them during 
 their minority, if the expression may be allowed, is that 
 of being debarred many comforts in the shape of certain 
 articles of game. Emu they must not touch, or many 
 other savage luxuries of which they are equally fond, 
 and of which the deprivation is consequently severely 
 felt. 
 
 The ceremonies used at the Kipper grounds, while 
 passing their initiation to manhood, are said to be of the 
 
most frightful and revolting description. The Author 
 has notes of this ceremony from blacks of three tribes, 
 but want of space prevents their publication in the present 
 work ; suffice it to say, that however much the cere- 
 monies may differ in other respects, still in one they are 
 unanimous, namely, at the termination the novices have 
 to eat a small portion of the faeces of the oldest woman 
 of the tribe. 
 
 That they have originally descended from the same 
 stock there is but little doubt, as may be seen by a com- 
 parison of their words ; and to assist the reader in this 
 matter, instead of advancing hypothetical opinions, the 
 Author has given a vocabulary of the language of 
 the adjoining and distant tribes. It would be unsafe 
 to affirm that they are astronomers, from their having a 
 name for all the leading stars, or botanists, because 
 they have names for most of the plants in their terri- 
 tories. 
 
 One singular feature he cannot well pass over, 
 namely the fact that most of the distinctive names of 
 the various tribes are derived from their negatives. 
 Melbourne tribe, or, as they call it, N' uther Galla 
 from N' uther, no; Camel Duhai, from Camel, no; 
 Wirrai Durhai, from Wirrai, no ; Wile Wan, from 
 Wile, no ; and so on through the different districts. 
 
 Another very common error is. that there exists no 
 settled love or lasting affection between the sexes ; not 
 only does the strongest feeling of affection exist between 
 the male and female, but it is often exhibited between 
 individuals of the same sex, as could be amply testified 
 by witnessing the parting scene at an aboriginal camp, 
 
when one of its members is about taking a long and 
 dangerous journey. It is scarcely possible to conceive 
 a more painful or affecting scene than is exhibited on 
 such an occasion. The moment the time has arrived 
 for the party to take leave, he rises and approaches his 
 eldest male relative, with one hand extended and the 
 other covering his eyes, the old man approaching in the 
 same manner ; on meeting each clasps firmly the other's 
 hand, when they elevate their arms to an angle a little 
 above the hair of their heads ; in this way they remain 
 for the space of three minutes, and during the whole 
 time genuine tears may be seen oozing through their 
 fingers ; at the expiry of the time mentioned they again 
 lower their arms, and finish with three sharp jerks of 
 the hand, and walk off in different directions, still con- 
 tinuing to hold down their heads, and avoiding the 
 sight of each other again. This very affecting 
 ceremony is only observed between relatives and 
 those who are closely attached, but with others the three 
 jerks of the hand only are given. But the Author is 
 reminded that he must now, from want of space, con- 
 clude, and he must consequently leave this and other 
 interesting particulars in the hope of having eventually 
 the pleasing task of bringing out a larger and a more 
 
 perfect work.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 SECOND EDITION. 
 
 It is now eight years since this work was first presented to the 
 public ; its object being to assist in improving the moral and phy- 
 sical condition of the Aborigines. At that time there were but 
 slight symptoms of mortality as compared with the present 
 time, owing to an over indulgence in the use of that great and 
 fearful bane to all the various tribes and races of Indians, H Fire 
 Water," or Ardent Spirits. It was with no trifling degree of 
 satisfaction that the author responded to a call from the Com- 
 mitttee lately organized by the State to enquire into, and if possi- 
 ble improve their present helpless condition. He regrets how- 
 ever to discover that one of his suggestions has not been adopted, 
 namely : By allowing the whole of the tribes a large area of 
 country, and if possible an island, where by careful surveillance 
 on the part of the Protectorate it would be impossible for parties 
 to tamper with and furnish drink. The whole of the tribes to 
 form one great family, where they may adopt their primitive 
 habits of cutting down timber, stripping bark, digging for 
 myrnong, burrowing for wombats and porcupines, collect the 
 corong, or gum from the Wattles, and similar congenial pursuits, 
 without having the fear of the Law before their eyes. Much, 
 indeed, every thing depends upon the conduct and abilities of the 
 superintendant or commandant, who should be able to speak 
 their language fluently, and be acquainted with all their habits 
 and customs, and join in their little amusements, of which they 
 possess many. They would thus by degrees, of their own mind 
 
Xll 
 
 be induced to fall into better habits of industry, by cultivating 
 patches of land, and they should be led to understand that the 
 product of their labor would be diposed of for their own benefit, 
 and would receive useful European articles in return. The author 
 has had many opportunities of observing all the various tribes 
 during the course of his travels over the greater part of Austra- 
 lia, and it will be interesting if the reader will turn to p.p. 57, 
 58, and 59. Jemmy, a native of the N'Utha Galla, or Melbourne 
 Tribe has accompanied the author in all his travels for many years, 
 during which he was an attentive and affectionate assistant ; but, 
 no sooner did he abandon travelling, and no longer required the 
 services of Jemmy, than he again adopted his old roving life, 
 became contaminated, and is now one of the most intemperate 
 and abandoned of his tribe. That the present issue may be of 
 service to those engaged in the work contemplated by the 
 Aboriginal Committee is the earnest wish of the 
 
 AUTHOR.

FAMILIAR SPECIMENS IN DIALOGUE. 
 
 SPECIMEN THE FIRST. 
 
 Having furnished the reader with the language preceding. The 
 next step to be considered, in order to accomplish the object 
 or which the work was indeed originally commenced, namely, 
 o act as an adjunct to the intentions of the worthy Bishop 
 in christianising, or more properly speaking, civilizing the benighted 
 and unhappy aboriginal inhabitants of this highly favoured pro- 
 vince ; is to furnish specimens of their language in dialogue, as 
 follows : 
 
 Q Winter wintowrding jeetho mirambeena?

 mirambeek bullarto n' gammoojidtch ? 
 
 You are stupid, dont you see that I am a gentleman ? 
 A N' uther. Mirambeena n' uther mirambeek, n' ya'arunning.

 If you will go to the River Yarra Yarra and fetch some 
 water, on your return 1 11 give you some bread and meat? 
 
 A Um ! um ! mirambeek jeetho wonthaggi ba'anth, n' uther 
 mirambeena mooyoopgoonong mirambeek n' ya'alingo. 
 
 Yes, yes, I'll go and fetch the water, but do not you gammon 
 me or deceive me on my return. 
 Q N' uther mooyoop ? 
 
 No gammon? 
 A Noogee. 
 
 That will do.

 A Wintowrdmg dandredibble. 
 
 Where is the money. 
 Q Mirambeek umalcek mirambeena dandredibble mulloko ?

 A Cobborin, mirambeena nang'ooith? (pointing to the seven stars 
 cr pleaides. ) 
 
 There ! do you see.

 is no road, no grass, and of course no track 
 
 Englishman Cooleenth, nang'ana moonmoondick jeetho lark, 
 n' uther pardine, n' uther poath, n' uther geenong'atha ? 
 
 English Did the blackfellows see moonmoondick go up to the 
 clouds, there is no road, no grass, and of course no track. 
 
 This of course puzzles the blackfellows, and by such means as this 
 only can these poor creatures be eventually taught effectually the 
 principles of our blessed religion. 
 
 Blackfellow Quanthuenera oordiyalyal n' gammoojidtch jeetho

 English Why are so many white men going to the Pyrenees, I 
 have seen them travelling on the road ?

 English The white people are going to the Pyrenees, and will 
 shortly return bringing with them plenty of dust which makes the 
 yellow money. 
 
 End of the language of the Victoria Aborigines. 
 
DIALECT 
 
 VARIOUS TRIBES OF ABORIGINES BEYOND THE 
 COLONY OF VICTORIA. 
 
 Space will not admit of more than a few of the leading words of 
 each tribe. 
 
 Lt is trusted, however, that the present vocabulary will be suffi- 
 cient to enable the reader to form his own opinion as to the 
 similarity or otherwise of the language of these untutored children 
 of the wilds. 
 
 Condamme River or language of a tribe of blades inhabiting that 
 part of the Condamine River called by them Yandukal, at no great 
 distance from its junction with the Balonne, or as the blacks 
 pronounce the word ; Balloone-yee, laying great stress on each 
 separate syllable. 
 
 For the information respecting this tribe, I am principally indebted 
 to R. Birrell and John Dangar, Esquires, both of whom had just 
 taken possession of their runs in this new country at the time I 
 visited that District, and to judge from the good feeling which 
 existed between these gentlemen and their literally savage friends, 
 they must have taken no little pains in acquiring the power which 
 they appeared to have over the whole of the tribes.

 Bockarraboy is a tributary of the Balonne or Condamine. As 
 the intrepid Australian traveller, Or. Leichhardt, alludes to these 
 people in a letter to William Hull, Esquire, I have obtained that 
 gentleman'3 permission to publish the same, and I have conse- 
 quently given it together with my own remarks. The great and 
 general interest felt for that enterprising and self-devoted writer 
 must be the author's excuse for giving the letter a place in these 
 pages. 
 
 Sydney, 20th October, 1847. 
 
 My dear Sin, Mr. Bunce wished me to send his share of dried 
 plants, collected on our journey to Peak Bange, and on the trip to 
 the Maranoa, to your care. As he himself is inclined to join me 
 again on a new attempt to cross the continent to the westward, and 
 as Port Phillip was so distant from our starting point, he determined 
 upon remaining at Darling Downs, and in the Moreton Bay Dis- 
 trict, to examine the Bunya Bunya brushes, and to make, if possible, 
 some collections of plants and seeds. 
 
 I have to thank you for yonr essay on the aborigines. I was in 
 the midst of my preparations for starting, and h:id not time enough 
 to pay it sufficient attention ; but I shall take the first opportunity 
 
58 
 
 of studying it, and should I find that any observations made on the 
 tribes to the northward thould differ, or should tend to other con- 
 clusions, I shall take the liberty of communicating them to you. 
 
 It is a very interesting fact, that the relationship of language 
 extends much farther to the northward along the western waters, 
 than along the sea coast ; and Mr. Bunce will have told you, that 
 he met natives on Charlie's Creek, a tributary of the Condamine or 
 Balonne, whose language had many words in common with that 
 of several tribes at Tort Phillip, with whom he seems to have had 
 long intercourse. 
 
 The most interesting and still most obscure feature amongst the 
 tribes to the northward are the Castes, which seem to be unknown 
 to tne southward. Mr. F. N. Isaac was either the first, or one of the 
 first, who discovered their existence amongst the natives at Darling 
 Downs, and Captain Macarthur, in Port Essington, told me of them 
 amongst the Monabar tribes and those of the Cobourg peninsula. 
 These castes are probably intimately connected with the laws of 
 intermarriage, which seem to be very general, and by which the 
 natives effect the proper crossing of blood. 
 
 Mr. Bunce mentioned to me that a young friend of his, Mr. 
 Dunbar, would be inclined to join me on my next expedition, and 
 that he would be a person well adapted for the purpose. 
 
 Mr. Bunce has seen enough of our life in the bush and of myself, 
 to judge of the necessary qualifications activity, good humour, 
 sound moral principles, elasticity of mind and body, and perfect 
 willingness to obey my orders, even if given harshly are the prin- 
 ciples requisites for my expedition. 
 
 I have been extremely unfortunate in the cb4e of some of my 
 former companions, and you well know that even one Sauve qui 
 peut is sufficient to upset a whole army. 
 
 Should you know the young man, I should feel deeply obliged if 
 you would examine him on these points, and give me a direct 
 answer about his intentions I shall be most willing to oblige Mr. 
 Bunce, who seems much attached to Mr. Dunbar. 
 
 Fxcuse the liberty I take in asking such a favour, the interest 
 which you have taken in my proceeding of discovery has encouraged 
 me to do so. 
 
 Believe me to be, 
 My dear Sir, 
 
 Your most obedient servant,

 The merest observer, who has had the least experience in tra- 
 velling through the bush, must have remarked, that there exists a 
 
59 
 
 vast difference of complexion in the difFerent individuals comprising 
 the various tribes. It is this difference in complexion, which con- 
 stitutes the castes spoken of by Dr Leichhardt. 
 
 The tribe of aborigines, to which my attention was first directed, 
 in whom I observed this very singular feature in crossing the blood, 
 were a tribe inhabiting a portion of the country on the Condamine 
 river, called Terreboo, now fully occupied by the squatters ; among 
 whom are -John Dangar and Richard Birrell, Esquires. It was the 
 latter gentleman who furnished me with many interesting particu- 
 lars relating to the Terreboo tribes. 
 
 The two castes were distinguished by the words Cobbi, masculine ; 
 and Cobbitha, feminine ; flippi, masculine ; and Hippitha, feminine. 
 The first, or Cobbi and Cobbitha, are those having the blackest 
 complexion ; and the latter, are those many shades lighter. In 
 their unions, marriages between sexes of the same castes are strictly 
 prohibited, or in other words a Cobbi must join his fate with that of 
 a Hippitha, and vice versa. 
 
 Dr. Leichhardt also speaks of my remarking a similarity in the 
 language of some aborigines at Charlies creek, and it may perhaps 
 not be uninteresting to state how the incident took place. 
 
 It will -probably be in the recollection of many of my readers 
 that we were detained at that place for some time, from the loss of 
 our cattle, mules and horses, the whole of these animals having 
 made a simultaneous rush from the camp in the middle of the night, 
 during the Doctor's watch. Our next cause of detention was the 
 receipt of news, through a messenger who had been despatched by 
 Arthur Hodgson, Esq. of Darling Downs, of Sir Thomas Mitchell's 
 return. Strange to say, that although one of our companions, Mr. 
 Hely, was despatched to the Pcst-office, with instructions to wait 
 for the receipt of letters containing further particulars respecting 
 Sir Thomas's expedition, which were of the greatest consideration 
 to Dr. L., not a single letter arrived, and we had to start without 
 the intelligence so anxiously expected. During our stay at this 
 place, many tribes of natives passed our camp, who were on their 
 way to Dorundoa, to the Bunya Bunya brushes to collect and eat 
 the fruit of those large and magnificent trees. (The botanical 
 name of the Bunya Bunya tree is Araucaria Bidwcllii.) Perhaps 
 I shall be better understood by representing it as a species of 
 Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria Excelsa.) The present species is 
 however much larger than the latter kind, with large feather like 
 branches. Altogether a more magnificent tree it is difficult to 
 conceive ; the fruit is as large as a common sized cocoa nut, and 
 when roasted the taste is equal if not superior to that of a mealy 
 potato. 
 
 It is said, although I am not prepared to vouch for its truth, that 
 eating this fruit gives the natives who partake of it a strong relish for 
 human flesh, and that many of their number are killed for the pur- 
 pose of appeasing their unnatural and degraded appetites. The 
 Bunya Bunya tree only produces fruit in any quantity every third 
 
60 
 
 year. It is confined to a narrow belt of elevated country on the 
 coast range, south of Wide Bay, averaging twelve and a half miles 
 wide by twenty-five in length, and in no other part of Australia is 
 this truly elegant tree to be met with. 
 
 On one occasion these people remained near our camp for a 
 longer time than usual ; in fact, longer than was agreeable to us, their 
 number being very great, and their talking frightened our cattle. 
 I fancied that in the course uf their talk I observed a very remark- 
 able similarity in the sound of many of their words to those of the 
 Port Phillip tribes, and to determine the fact, I advised Dr. Leich- 
 hardt to make a note of a few words which I told him of as in use 
 in that District. 
 
 These people were perfectly wild, and approached with caution, 
 and the only means of making myself understood was by signs and 
 pointing to my mouth. The fellow immediately comprehended my 
 object, and said, " Worong." I then said, " Atha ;" and he imme- 
 ately repeated the whole word, " Worong'atha," and appeared to 
 be not a little astonished at my apparent knowledge of his 
 language. 
 
 I must confess that Dr. Leichhardt and myself were nearly as 
 much surprised as the blackfellow ; for we found, as we continued 
 the examination, that the same extraordinary similarity was appa- 
 rent, his answers for the names of things asked being nearly the 
 same as those used in this district, and of which, as before observed, 
 I had furnished the Doctor with notes previously.
