    It's interesting how these things happen. In the United States, most of the major freeways follow the same routes that the natives and mountain men took a couple of hundred years ago. There's a great documentary by Ken Burns called Horatio's Drive that shows his route in the earliest days of the automobile on a cross country trip, long before the freeways. As a truck driver it was especially fascinating to me as I've regularly taken the same routes that he traveled. I really would recommend that documentary as an excellent way to understand early travel.

    Long time since I last saw this, but it has not lost any charm. I've worked in and around the Simpson for 8 years as a field officer, lots of long drives every day, I loved it besides being a touch warm. My best was 2 days in row near Innamincka 2014 I think, 48.6 C and all my work was at ground level and all in the sun 10hrs each. Anyway I love the bush as Ive also travelled many of the back tracks across the top, I believe its the scenery and timelessness watching far off willy willy's disappear hundreds of metres into the blue, the wind whispering in the low shrubs and trees. Then there are the stars horizon to horizon, dingoes howling and cold very cold.......Love you work.

    Stuart was lion-hearted, but in my opinion Peter Egerton Warburton's journey west in 1873/4 at the age of SIXTY is the greatest journey undertaken by a European in Australia.

    Regarding the Ghan, most people believe the name is describing the Afghans who drove camels trains in Australia. I believe that the Afghans were actually Pakistani. My mother was the Railway Station Mistress at Mt Garnet in North Queensland around the mid 1930s. She had contact with the Pakistani camel drivers when they brought in sandalwood from the Gulf Country to send the wood by rail to the coast, from there it was exported to Pakistan and India for incense. She was befriended by these people who who insisted that the Ghans were from Pakistan, a British colony. A much more likely source of camels and people given that Australia was connected to Britain too. Afghanistan not so much.

    The compass and protractor yeah?
    It's definition makes sense as to how it fits the scenario, my only question again is HOW did they know what it was, how did they show it to him??! Through dance or did they stack their bodies or hands in a way, I'll keep doing research i guess...

      No that's the actual symbol of the Freemasons. But they are famous for having secret hand signs. So for example if one lands in court, he can make a hand sign to the judge who is most likely a mason too, and get off scott-free.

  • @boblordylordyhowie
    @boblordylordyhowie 2 года назад +1

    It may be possible the Aboriginals were told about Muskets from other Aboriginals who had met Europeans and told the story to them and that was passed on to others possibly telling them about a stick that went bang, so, when they encountered people woth sticks that banged they thought they were muskets.

  • @difdaf436

    Loved the story about the aboriginals putting the poles up to, coping the white fellas.. I wonder why they decided to do that? Did they think it would do something for the spirits?
    Did they do it to show it was their land? So curious as to why they did…

    Wouldn't it be more likely that information about the white man travelled, along with wheat, customs and words, via Aboriginal word of mouth instead of white men themselves? It would explain why they used an incorrect version of Musket.
