I have to totally revise my thinking about the origins of Australia now. Prior to the English dumping their convicts there, evidently there were whole tribes resembling Bob's Big Boy, but probably with full-sleeve tats, running around in thongs [bleep] Kangaroos and the like. Maybe those in Quigley just rolled in the mud all the time in order to prevent skin cancer. That and they had no access to Suave.


I am of Aboriginal descent, like an awful lot of other Australians I have a touch of the tar-brush...I am NOT Aboriginal, I am most definitely not a tribal man.

And with the amount of European blood in my veins I all but glow in the dark...my cousins on the other hand are an entirely different matter as they are most definitely tribal Aboriginals.



added, the little lad (Kidman) with me in the picture IS Aboriginal and his mother is from Windorah in QLD, I went to school with her brothers for a short time.

Amusing to remember all those little Aboriginal kids and one whitey down at the dump with bung eyes.


Not something one see's now.

PS, in 1975 I was ten years of age.
