ABORIGINAL FISHERIES AT BREWARRINA. 155 
Near the southern bank, and at a few other places in the 
bed of the river, there still remain some masses of original 
rock which have withstood the ravages of time, and are 
shown in solid black on the diagram. The following are 
the aboriginal names of most of them :—B, see diagram, is 
called Muar; ©, Kullur; D, Dherraginni; and H, on the 
northern shore, is known as Kirragurra. 
The blank spaces on the diagram were in the olden days 
studded with fishing pens, of which the wreckage is visible 
in many places in the shape of scattered boulders and 
indistinct outlines of former enclosures. but the whole of 
the river floor was not occupied with the maze of traps. 
A waterway had to be left for the fish to travel up to the 
catching pens of families located higher up-stream, and for 
this purpose the most uneven portions of the bottom were 
selected because the least suitable for building upon. 
The black, sinuous lines drawn upon the diagram repre- 
sent the walls of the different pens, and groups of pens, 
with the “‘ wings” or outlying walls which guide the fish 
into the enclosures. I have not shewn the openings into 
the traps, because they were sometimes made in one part 
of the wall, and sometimes in another, according to the 
part of the stream in which the ‘“‘school”’ of fish were 
approaching. 
At the point marked witha cross on the diagram, on the 
southern bank, which is rocky, between C and A there are 
about two dozen grinding places, worn in the rocks by the 
natives sharpening their stone hatchets. About three 
chains eastward from A there are a number of similar 
grinding places.
