Their arms consist of stone-headed spears (which they throw with greatstrength and precision) of throwing sticks, boomerangs or kileys, clubs, and stone hatchets. The dogs they use in hunting I have already stated tobe of a kind unknown in other parts of Australia, and they were neverseen wild by us. The natives manufacture their water-buckets and weapons very neatly; andmake from the bark of a tree a light but strong cord. Their huts, ofwhich I only saw those on the sea-coast, are constructed ...in an oval formof the boughs of trees, and are roofed with dry reeds. The diameter ofone which I measured was about fourteen feet at the base. LANGUAGE. Their language is soft and melodious, so much so as to lead to theinference that it differs very materially, if not radically, from themore southern Australian dialects which I have since had an opportunityof enquiring into. Their gesticulation is expressive, and their bearingmanly and noble. They never speared a horse or sheep belonging to us and, judging by the degree of industry shown in the execution of some of theirpaintings, the absence of anything offensive in the subjects delineated, and the careful finish of some articles of common use, I should inferthat under proper treatment they might easily be raised very considerablyin the scale of civilization.
