Title
Yarrabah – Aquatics – 1918
Description
HG Simpson, who’s in charge of Oombunghi, writes that Back Beach, between Oombunghi and Gilghi Creek, is the site of “a great deal of their [“natives”] leisure” spent in fishing and aquatics (p. 55). Most of the villagers belong to the Fourmile tribe, who inhabited the district when Gribble first arrived. Source: A.B.M. Review, 1 7 1918, 54-55.
