IN AUSTRALIAN WILDS 



The Murray banks were thickly populated by 

 aborigines in the early days, when the white men 

 came; but all the tribes have disappeared. One rarely 

 sees a black face along the river now. Yet there are 



many relics of the lost tribes, and some of these are 

 on Kulkyne. The burial place of the Kulkyne blacks 

 (there are only two living now) is a big sand dune, 

 which is made an island by a creek and the river. 

 Perchance thousands of aborigines, men, women and 

 children, are buried in the sand. There are remains 

 of rude structures that once marked the graves. Logs
