 The book 'Cape York --- The savage Frontier' by Rodney Liddell is
available for loan from the State Library through your local library.

This is good historical read also.



*HERE BE CANNIBALS*

*CANNIBALISM IN AUSTRALIA*


*Excerpts from Anthropophagitism in the Antipodes: Cannibalism in
Australia, James Cooke, published by the author, 1997.*


*Detailed accounts of the atrocities and cannibalism of aboriginals on
shipwrecked Europeans have been compiled by Rodney Liddell. His book
Cape York – The Savage Frontier is essential reading for all concerned
with correcting the fictionalised re-writing of Australian history.

*VICTORIA – COLAC – 1837*

*Some portions of a skeleton were found on the banks of a river, which
were supposed to belong to the lost explorer, and that river, and Mount
Gellibrand on which he and Hesse parted company, were named after him.*

*There was a blackfellow living for many years afterwards in the Colac
district who was said to have killed and eaten the lost white man; the
first settlers therefore called him Gellibrand, as they considered he
had made out a good claim to the name by devouring the flesh. This
blackfellow’s face was made up of hollows and protuberances ugly beyond
all aboriginal ugliness. I was present at an interview between him and
senior-constable Hooley, who nearly rivalled the savage in lack of
beauty.  Hooley had been a soldier in the Fifth Fusiliers, and had been
convicted of the crime of manslaughter, having killed a coloured man
near Port Louis, in the Mauritius. He was sentenced to penal servitude
for the offence, and had passed two years of his time in Tasmania. This
incident had produced in his mind an interest in blackfellows generally,
and on seeing Gellibrand outside the Colac courthouse, he walked up to
him, and looked him steadily in the face, without saying a word or
moving a muscle of his countenance. I never saw a more lovely pair. The
black fellow returned the gaze unflinchingly, his deep-set eyes fixed
fiercely on those of the Irishman, his nostrils dilated, and his
frowning forehead wrinkled and hard, as if cast in iron. The two men
looked like two wild beasts preparing for a deadly fight. At length,
Hooley moved his face nearer to that of the savage, until their noses
almost met, and between his teeth he slowly ejaculated: ‘You eat white
man? You eat me? Eh?’ Then the deep frown on Gellibrand’s face began
slowly to relax, his thick lips parted by degrees, and displayed, ready
for business, his sharp and shining teeth, white as snow and hard as
steel. A smile, which might be likened to that of a humorous tiger,
spread over his spacious features, and so the interview ended without a
fight. I was very much disappointed, as I hoped the two man-slayers were
going to eat each other for the public good, and I was ready to back
both of them without fear, favour, or affection.*

*There is no doubt that the blacks ate human flesh, not as an article of
regular diet, but occasionally, when the fortune of war, or accident,
favoured them with a supply. When Mr Hugh Murray set out from Geelong to
look for country to the westward, he took with him several natives
belonging to the Barrabool tribe. When they arrived near Lake Colac they
found the banks of the Barongarook Creek covered with scrub, and on
approaching the spot where the bridge now spans the watercourse, they
saw a blackfellow with his lubra and a little boy, running towards the
scrub.  The Bairabool blacks gave chase, and the little boy was caught
by one of them before he could find shelter, and was instantly killed
with a club. That night the picaninny was roasted at the camp fire, and
eaten.*


** * * * **

*But the land on which I had spread the black loam was almost barren,
and yet I had seen fragments of bones mixed with it, and amongst them a
lower jaw with perfect teeth, most likely the jaw of a young lubra. On
mentioning the circumstance to one of the early settlers, he said my
loam had been taken from the spot on which the blacks used to burn their
dead. Soon after he arrived at Colac he saw there a solitary blackfellow
crouching before a fire in which bones were visible. So, pointing to
them, he asked what was in the fire, and the blackfellow replied with
one word ‘lubra.’ He was consuming the remains of his dead wife, and
large tears were coursing down his cheeks. Day and night he sat there
until the bones had been nearly all burned and covered with ashes.*

*VICTORIA – 1841*

*I have found small strips of human flesh in their bags, and persons
lubricated with the fat of the human subject; but the most revolting
case of cannibalism that came under my notice happened at the Assistant
Protector’s camp during my absence, when the entire human subject (a
female) including the viscera, was eaten with fiendish gesticulation. I
regretted to learn that the Assistant Protector witnessed, of his own
accord, the horrible proceeding.*


** * * * **

*The Victorian natives, though not so casual in their bloodthirstiness
as the Tasmanians, were not admirable in all respects. Mr Sievewright’s
account of the cannibalistic episode referred to previously is appalling
in its brutality. It runs as follows:*

*About 2 o’clock on the morning of the 24th instant (June, 1841), I was
awoke by a shout and general alarm in the huts of the Bolagher tribe,
who were encamped about 20 yards in front of my tent. On looking out, I
saw them armed and rushing in the direction of the Targurt tribe, who
were encamped about 50 yards to the right. A severe conflict immediately
took place, and some of the Targurt tribe came violently into my tent
begging for assistance and protection. On going out, I found the men of
the different tribes (amounting to upwards of a hundred) engaged hand to
hand in one general melee. On being directed by some of the women who
had also sought shelter in my tent to the huts of the Bolagher, I there
found a young woman supported in the arms of some of her tribe, quite
insensible and bleeding from two wounds on the right side of her face.
She expired about 11 o’clock. After fighting for nearly an hour, the men
of the Bolagher tribe returned to their huts, and, giving vent to the
most frantic expressions of grief and rage, were employed till daylight
in preparing themselves and weapons to renew the combat.*

*Shortly before sunrise, they again rushed towards the Targurt and
Elengermite tribes, who, with about a dozen of the Warnabool natives,
were encamped together, when a most severe struggle took place between
them.  Very few escaped on either side without serious fractures and
dangerous spear wounds. Although the Targurt tribe were much superior in
number, they were, after two hours’ hard fighting, driven off the ground
and pursued for about four miles, where their women and children had
retired, whom one of the former, named Moontine Whannong, was selected
and fell pierced by about 20 spears of the pursuers.*

*The body of this female was shortly after burned to ashes by her own
people and the Bolagher natives returned to their encampment, apparently
satisfied with the revenge they had taken, and remained sullenly and
silently watching the inanimate body of the wounded female. When death
took place, they again expressed the most violent and extravagant grief.
They threw themselves upon the ground, weeping and screaming at the
height of their voices, lacerating the body, and inflicting wounds upon
the head from the blows they gave themselves with the leangil. About an
hour after the death of the young woman, the body was removed a few
hundred yards into the bush by the father and brother of the deceased,
the remainder of the tribe following one at a time, till they had all
joined what I imagined to be the usual funeral party. Having accompanied
the body when it was removed, I was then requested to return to my tent,
which request I took no notice of.  In a few moments I was desired,
rather sternly and by impatient signs, to go.  I endeavoured to make
them understand that I wished to remain, and I sat down upon a tree
close to where the body lay. The father of the deceased then came close
up to me, and pointed with his finger to his mouth and then to the dead
body. I at once guessed his meaning, and signified my intention to
remain, and, with as much indifference as I could assume, stretched
myself upon a tree and narrowly watched their proceedings. With a flint
they made a small incision upon the breast, when a simultaneous shriek
was given by the party, and the same violent signs of grief were again
evinced.  After a short time, the operation was again commenced, and, in
a few minutes, the body disembowelled. The scene which now took place
was of the most revolting description. Horror-stricken and utterly
disgusted, while obliged to preserve that equanimity of demeanour upon
which I imagined the development of this tragedy to depend, I witnessed
the most fearful scene of ferocious cannibalism.*

*The bowels and entire viscera having been disengaged from the body were
at first portioned out; but, from the impatience of some of the women to
get at the liver, a general scramble took place for it, and it was
snatched in pieces, and, without the slightest process of cooking, was
devoured with an eagerness and avidity – a keen fiendish expression of
impatience for more, from which scene a memory too tenacious upon this
subject will not allow me to escape. The kidneys and heart in a like
manner were immediately consumed, and, as a climax to these revolting
orgies, when the whole viscera were removed, a quantity of blood and
serum which had collected in the cavity of the chest was eagerly
collected in handfuls and drunk by the old man who had dissected the
body. The flesh was entirely cut off the ribs and back, the arms and
legs were wrenched and twisted from the shoulder and hip joints, and the
teeth employed to dissever the reeking tendons when they would not
immediately yield to their impatience. The limbs were now doubled up and
put in their baskets, and, on putting a portion of the flesh upon a fire
which had previously been lit, they seemed to remember that I was one of
the party. Something was said to one of the women, who cut off a foot
from a leg which she had in her possession and offered it to me. I
thought it prudent to accept of it, and, wrapping it in my handkerchief
and pointing to my tent, they nodded assent, and I joyfully availed
myself of their permission to retire. They shortly afterwards retired to
their huts with the debris of the feast, and, during the day, to the
horror and annoyance of my two boys and those belonging to the
establishment, they brought another part and some half-picked bones, and
offered them to us.  The head was struck off with a tomahawk and placed
between hot stones in the hollow of a tree, where it has undergone a
process of baking, and is still left there otherwise untouched.*

*1848*

*Half-caste children, the offspring of colonists by the aboriginal
females, are generally the greatest sufferers; in the next degree come
their own female infants; but frequently there seems to be no
distinction.*

*There appears in general to be a strong dislike towards the mulatto
offspring, increased perhaps by the natural feelings of a husband. In
one case of a mother who had destroyed her child, the reason she
assigned was that it was half white. An apprehension seems also to be
generally entertained that this intermediate race may eventually prove
dangerous to the tribe; and, accordingly, they are in most localities
regularly destroyed, either at the moment of birth, or on some future
and generally very early occasion. The female half-castes, who are
considered as in this respect less dangerous than the males, are
occasionally spared. In the Bronlee district, north of Twofold Bay, the
half-castes, according to Mr Flanagan, generally disappear about the age
of puberty.*
