AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This book is a history of story-making about the experiences of three Indigenous Australian travellers: Bundle (a Dharawal man), Boongaree (a Kurringgai man), and Migeo (a man of Whadjuk Nyungar). In the first decades of the nineteenth century, these men took part in various surveying expeditions that were completing work Matthew Flinders had begun with his 1801 coastal mapping of ‘Terra Australis’. The expeditions were on the north-western coast, the country of the ‘Waylo’ – a generic term used by Nyungar people in the southwest to refer to their northern neighbours. The Aboriginal travellers were from the south and southeast.'
