But there are circumstantial details extant, that the island of Timana was an outpost of the wallaby until quite a recent date. This island, which has an area of about 20 acres, bears a resemblance to a jockey's cap the sand spit towards the setting sun forming the peak, a precipice covered with scrub and jungle, the back.
Divination by means of the intestines of animals is practised by the blacks in some parts of North Queensland. A young gin died suddenly on the lower Johnstone River. Immediately after, the young men of the camp went out hunting, bringing back a wallaby.
No doubt these natives carry water in wallaby or other animals' skins during their burning hunts, for they travel great distances in a day, walking and burning, and picking up everything alive or roasted as they go, and bring the game into the general camp at night. We passed through three different lines of conflagrations to-day.
Of course they saw us, but they most perseveringly shunned us, considering us probably far too low a type of animal for their society. We also saw to-day dilapidated old yards, where they had formerly yarded emu or wallaby, though we saw none of their wurleys, or mymys, or gunyahs, or whatever name suits best.
There was a little growling and cursing and once more the encampment was given over to sleep. Jim Done awoke as the grayness of dawn was creeping through the night awoke with an idea that he was sleeping under the gum-trees. There was a vague belief in his head that he and his mates were on the wallaby, but where they were going to, he was too sleepy to decide.
The white men of Australia were not evolved out of the black men. There are no family ties, and never will be, between the kangaroo, the wombat and wallaby, and their successors, the cattle, the sheep, and the goats. We can kill species, but we can't create any. The rabbit, destined to bring Nosey to the gallows, was a favoured animal on Austin's station at the Barwon.
The hands were wrinkled; the face was cold; the body was wet: the man was drowned and dead. "Divils me darlins, it's a memory I have of a time whin luck wasn't foldin' her arms round me, and not so far back aither, and I on the wallaby track hot-foot for the City o' Gold." Shon McGann said this in the course of a discussion on the prosperity of Pipi Valley.
Wallaby?" said the black. "Over there. Lots." "Go and join 'em then, you sable son of a three-legged pitch-pot." "Got meat?" "Yes," said Carey, and he served out the big lumps cut ready, while Bostock held the light, the blacks taking it steadily enough till all were served, and Carey stood looking at them.
This struggling thing, from the shock of which my very soul still trembled, was but a fellow-victim a wallaby which, feeding along the ledge, had happened on the trap made by my fall. In a flash of remorseless energy, I seized the panting body, felt for the throat, and, expelling pity from my heart, gripped until all was still. How precious and comforting it was!
They are a varied and motley lot. That powerful and rather handsome man is a New Yorker, of Irish parentage. Next to him is a slight, neat, quiet individual. He was a lieutenant in a line regiment. The lad in the rear was a Sandhurst cadet. Then came two navvies and a New Zealander, five Chinamen, a Frenchman, two Germans, Tin Pot, Jerry, and Wallaby three aboriginal blacks.
