“Black, a Bidjara and Ghungalu man, is here most afternoons, enthusiastically telling tourists about the area’s Aboriginal history. He shows them artefacts he’s found in the mountains: axe heads, grinding stones, crude but effective knives chipped from stone – all rattling around in a Coles shopping basket on the back seat of his LandCruiser.
“I’ll tell you the real story – the one that’s not in the history books,” he says.”Another #TruthTelling from the Guardian’s The Descendants Series.
“Cullin-la-ringo was a turning point in Queensland’s history, paving the way for “warfare” between First Nations peoples and the settlers over control of the state’s north. It would claim the lives of tens of thousands of Indigenous people over the decades that followed. Some groups, including the Gayiri, never recovered.”
Nothing I can type here will do justice to history and the need to get it out in the open. Best you read the article(s) in this series yourself and bear witness to thie Continent’s recent past.
