[edit] Barrallier - Research in progress
From http://dazed.org/npa/scraps/tranter.htm :
-
- Early contact between Europeans and Aborigines in the NSW Southern Highlands was made by the French explorer, Francis Barrallier, a young man with a lot of heart and courage (3). In 1802, his party moved through "The Cowpastures" southwest of Sydney, through the Nattai to the Wollondilly River and up to the heights above where Yerranderie now stands.
-
- Along the way he met and befriended the Gundungara people.
-
- " The place where I decided to spend the night was the territory of the mountaineer Bungin, he wrote in his Journal. " He gave proof of his friendship and gratefulness for my good treatment by building a hut for me and I was thankful of his kind attention. The natives do not allow a stranger to inhabit the territories they have appropriated to themselves.
-
- They themselves build huts for the strangers they wish to receive as friends."
