— Appears in: Language Land and Song : Studies in Honour of Luise Hercus 2017; (p. 287-303)

'Luise Hercus has made many contributions to the survival and continuity of Australian languages, not the least of which is her work on Aboriginal song traditions, in particular those of the south-eastern quadrant of the continent. Equally significant are the contributions she has made to the documentation of Aboriginal placenames in Australia. She is the co-editor of three volumes on the topic and author of numerous relevant publications. Thus it is fitting that the present tribute to this remarkable woman brings together two themes that mesh so closely with her own interests: the mythical origin of song in central and eastern New South Wales (NSW), and the placenames associated with this mythology.' (Introduction)
