Bruce Pascoe – What did they really say?

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS…. Please come back again to check on our updates.

Jan Holland, and the research team.

Most Aussies are good, trusting people who tend to take others at their word. Especially if the person delivering that word is a clever con man who is telling them something they want to believe in.

My group? We are a bit different. We are a little cynical. We have inbuilt lie detectors that pick up on inconsistencies in stories. We notice and remember the lies. Those detectors go off a lot when Bruce Pascoe is delivering the information. What he claims people said, is rarely what they really said. We check his sources and we find the lies.

Here are some of them.

READ, AND COMPARE

Pascoe loves to quote the explorer Charles Sturt. Incorrectly in most cases. Check to see what Pascoe made up from just this small section of Sturt’s journal.

Charles Sturt wrote – “…. however, we reached the hill soon after the natives had gone over it, and on gaining the summit were hailed with a deafening shout by 3 or 400 natives, who were assembled in the flat below. I do not know, that my desire to see the savage in his wild state, was ever more gratified than on this occasion, for I had never before come so suddenly upon so large a party. The scene was one of the most animated description, and was rendered still more striking from the circumstance of the native huts, at which there were a number of women and children, occupying the whole crest of a long piece of rising ground at the opposite side of the flat.”

Pascoe changes the number of people and adds in a bit of drama, by inventing the story that the explorers were “saved from death”, and he throws in a bit more fiction by including harvesting grain. He says –

Version 1. “Charles Sturt’s exploration party of 1844 was saved from death when it chanced upon four hundred Aboriginal people harvesting grain on the Warburton River (South Australia),”

Version 2. “There were nearly 1000 people living there, in this little model community with timber and thatch houses, beautiful dwellings, which Sturt describes quite well.”  https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf

Sturt says. “I checked my horse for a short time on the top of the sand hill, and gazed on the assemblage of agitated figures below me, covering so small a space that I could have enclosed the whole under a casting net, and then quietly rode down into the flat, followed by Mr. Stuart and my men, to one of whom I gave my horse when I dismounted, and then walked to the natives, by whom Mr. Stuart and myself were immediately surrounded.  Had these people been of an unfriendly temper, we could not by any possibility have escaped them, for our horses could not have broken into a canter to save our lives or their own. We were therefore wholly in their power, although happily for us perhaps, they were not aware of it; but, so far from exhibiting any unkind feeling, they treated us with genuine hospitality, and we might certainly have commanded whatever they had.”

Pascoe adds in his drama and says – “They’ve eaten all their horses but one. They’ve got no water, they’ve got no food, they’re dying. They climb a sand dune and look down. Sturt can hardly see by this stage, but they’re accosted by 1000 Aboriginal people ….. And so Sturt writes that if those people had been aggressive to him that they could have done nothing, because the horse they had left couldn’t have run to save its life and they couldn’t have walked to save their lives. They were at the mercy of these people who came up and grabbed hold of them, virtually carried them down to the bottom of the dune.” https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf

Sturt wrote. “Several of them brought us large troughs of water, and when we had taken a little, held them up for our horses to drink; an instance of nerve that is very remarkable, for I am quite sure that no white man, (having never seen or heard of a horse before, and with the natural apprehension the first sight of such an animal would create,) would deliberately have walked up to what must have appeared to them most formidable brutes, and placing the troughs they carried against their breast, have allowed the horses to drink, with their noses almost touching them.”

At least Pascoe sticks to the truth here.  “…brought cooling piti (coolamons, containers) of water to the horse, a species they’d never seen in their life and, admittedly I think at arm’s length, they offered the horse water because they saw the horse as a dignified creature that required assistance.”

Sturt. “They likewise offered us some roasted ducks, and some cake. When we walked over to their camp, they pointed to a large new hut, and told us we could sleep there, but I had noticed a little hillock on which there were four box-trees, about fifty yards from the native encampment, on which, foreseeing that we could go no farther, I had already determined to remain, and on my intimating this to the natives they appeared highly delighted; we accordingly went to the trees, and unsaddling our animals turned them out to feed. When the natives saw us quietly seated they came over, and brought a quantity of sticks for us to make a fire, wood being extremely scarce. …… The smallness of the water-hole, on which these people depended, was quite a matter of surprise to me, and I hardly liked to let the horses drink at it, in consequence.”

Pascoe’s version gets quite carried away with the truth – “And then they showed them, Sturt and his men, their village and said ‘choose a house’ and they were too far gone to bother so they had one chosen one for them, a brand new dwelling. …. And then they offered them roast duck and cake. You know, Sturt was dying in the desert and here’s a community thriving because they managed the resources well. They had dug a well which I think was 70 foot deep, to provide their water. You know, that’s an engineering feat. It’s not a hole in the ground. It’s a piece of engineering. And they were growing a grain on this ephemeral river. Every time it flooded they’d wait a week and then they’d go in and sow a grain into the mud and then they’d come back and  harvest the grain, and that’s what they were there for, they were there for the annual harvest.” https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf

Nothing was mentioned in Sturt’s journals about the natives growing or harvesting grain there. The 70 foot deep well is also pure fiction. Sturt and his party got onto their horses the next day and continued on their travels.

Pascoe also says in Dark Emu of this place – “The smaller huts attached to the dwellings of this and other clans were full of stored produce. Yards attached to these store houses were used as animal holding pens. People here were not clinging on to survival in the desert; they were thriving, and engaged in a rich and joyful life.”

Nowhere is there any evidence to support this figment of Pascoe’s imagination. Storage buildings are not mentioned by Sturt, and neither is grain at this site. And as for the animal holding pens, what could these animals have been? Kangaroos?

PASCOE’S FAVOURITE. CAKES

Charles Sturt wrote: “Several of them brought us large troughs of water….. They likewise offered us some roasted ducks, and some cake.”

Sturt said cakes were offered to him, but he does not say whether he, or his men, ate them, let alone them being the best he had ever tasted.

Pascoe’s versions:

Version 1. “Because that’s what the explorers saw. …. Sturt and his men were revived with cool well-water, roast duck and the best cakes Sturt had ever tasted. Once recovered, the party was offered a new house in the orderly town that lined the bank of the river”.

Version 2. Sturt repeatedly described the cake as the “best cake he had ever eaten”, even after his hunger had been satiated. “He describes it in great detail, he describes the method of the milling, the flavour, and he even goes as far as to give a short recipe,” Mr Pascoe said. https://www.milkwood.net/2016/03/24/fair-food-edition-pip-mag/      Sturt did none of these things.

Version 3. Two hundred years have passed since British explorers Charles Sturt and Thomas Mitchell extolled the virtues of Aboriginal breads, describing them as the lightest and sweetest they’d ever tasted, Bruce Pascoe https://www.sbs.com.au/food/article/2018/05/29/comment-lets-talk-about-real-australian-food   The cakes have now morphed into bread, and Thomas Mitchell has joined in “extolling their virtues”.

HOUSING

Sturt wrote: “When we walked over to their camp, they pointed to a large new hut, and told us we could sleep there, but I had noticed a little hillock on which there were four box-trees, about fifty yards from the native encampment, on which, foreseeing that we could go no farther, I had already determined to remain, and on my intimating this to the natives they appeared highly delighted; we accordingly went to the trees, and unsaddling our animals turned them out to feed.”   Sturt didn’t say “house”, he said “hut”, and he did not mention it being an “orderly town”.

Pascoe’s versions:

Version 1. “And then they showed them, Sturt and his men, their village and said ‘choose a house’ and they were too far gone to bother so they had one chosen one for them, a brand new dwelling. There were nearly 1000 people living there, in this little model community with timber and thatch houses, beautiful dwellings, which Sturt describes quite well.” https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf

Version 2. “The Europeans were then offered the pick of the houses in a new estate built on the bank of the Warburton River.”  Taken from Long History: Deep Time. http://press-files.anu.edu.au/…/p319821/html/ch10.xhtml

Version 3. “Then they are offered their choice of three new houses in the village.” From  Salt: Selected Essays and Stories

IRISH CROFT HOUSES

In Dark Emu, Pascoe writes “On seeing houses built to accommodate forty people in groups of fifty or more, both explorers (Mitchell and Sturt) resort to words such as ‘huts’ or ‘hovels’ to describe buildings that in rural Ireland would have been called croft houses.”  Really? This is an Irish croft house. A very old, ruined, Irish croft house. It doesn’t look like anything I can remember seeing of Aboriginal housing.

WHIRRING, OR THUDDING?

Sturt wrote: “they sat up to a late hour at their own camp, the women being employed beating the seed for cakes, between two stones, and the noise they made was exactly like the working of a loom factory. The whole encampment, with the long line of fires, looked exceedingly pretty, and the dusky figures of the natives standing by them, or moving from on hut to the other, had the effect of a fine scene in a play.”

Pascoes’ versions:

Version 1. “In the nights to follow, it was Sturt’s delight to listen to the singing and laughter as the town prepared its meals. The whispering of whirring grain mills made a captivating sound in the twilight, but around 10 o’clock the town fell silent as it prepared for sleep. Sturt remarks on the modest civility of the people of this town.” http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p319821/html/ch10.xhtml

Version 2.  … (Frederick Rose) … talks about the incredible labour required in milling and winnowing that grain, but never the scale of the operation — despite Sturt’s description of the evening whirring of hundreds of mills grinding grain into flour.  Dark Emu

Version 3.  “as evening fell, Sturt would sit out the front of his hut and write… and he said that as evening fell he loved to listen to the people singing and laughing, children playing and dogs barking, but behind all of that cheerful noise, was a sound, and that sound was, pshhh, pshhh, pshhh, as people ground grain into flour. He said it was mesmerising, the lifestyle that these people had. And as the meals were finished he could hear women putting children to bed and by 10 o’clock at night the whole village was silent. Our people were considered by the colonists to be barely human and reading that evidence of our culture really, if you’re not moved by that, and if you’re not moved by the fact that those people were murdered shortly afterwards, then you have indeed a very hard heart.” Youtube. Bruce Pascoe (2016): Aboriginal agriculture – maintaining a culture over millenia. View from 21.00 minutes.

THE TRUTH: Sturt and his party left the next morning, after only one night, so he was not there “in the nights to follow” to sit out the front of his hut. He made no mention of singing, laughing, or meal preparation. Neither did he comment on children playing, dogs barking, or children being put to bed. He said the scene was exceedingly pretty, but did not say he loved to listen to the people. He didn’t say their lifestyle was mesmerising. There is no mention of a mill, or mills, let alone “the whispering of whirring grain mills” either. He certainly did not say “whirring of hundreds of mills grinding grain”.  He wrote “loom factory”. A loom factory made fabric, and the machinery bumped or thudded as the threads were knocked firmly into place. As do stones tapping on seeds between stones. Mills are an entirely different piece of machinery. They have cogs to drive them. And were used to grind grain. Unbelievable.

What is also unbelievable, is his claim that these people were murdered shortly afterwards. He gives no qualifying statement as to who murdered them, but tosses that comment in to make them victims. Presumably of the horrible whites. Nobody knows where Sturt was when he was offered the cakes and roast duck, and Pascoe confirms that himself, in the chapter “Saviours” in Dark Emu. He writes “Peter Gebhardt, poet, and Michael Perry, engineer, volunteered to read the journals with a view to examining the roast duck and cake story. Part of that test was to sort out Sturt’s longitudes and latitudes, because he didn’t record them every day. We are confident, however, that the incident described above occurred on 3–4 November 1845, just north-east of today’s Innamincka at a latitude of 127 degrees 47 minutes south and a longitude of 141 degrees 51 minutes east.”

So how can Pascoe possibly know these people were murdered?

EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY

Sturt wrote: These were a merry people and seemed highly delighted at our visit, and if one or two of them were a little forward, I laid it to the account of curiosity and a feeling of confidence in their own numbers. But a little thing checked them, nor did they venture to touch our persons, much less to put their hands into our pockets, as the natives appear to have done, in the case of another explorer.

Pascoe’s version: Sturt remarked on their obvious happiness, their civility and the wonders of the evening meal preparations, sauced with song and laughter. Dark Emu

ABALONE

Pascoe writes “European settlers shunned the abalone, and referred to it derogatorily as mutton fish……. the ‘mutton fish’ was considered food for ‘blacks’. The Chinese and Japanese knew otherwise. …….Once entrepreneurs realised that Australian Chinese were exporting abalone meat, they lobbied the Departments  of Primary Industry to establish licensing, quotas, and closed marketing boards, which operated like cartels.  Aboriginal people are now seen as poachers simply because the shellfish is so enormously valuable. When it was ‘mutton fish’, they were allowed to harvest as much as they wanted. Today they are jailed for pursuing their traditional harvest.”

Once again, our research shows this to be incorrect. Most European settlers didn’t know what abalone was. Part of Abalone’s appeal is that it is only available in limited areas. The settlers knew the shells though, as piles of them were to be found wherever the natives ate them. It was known to be a staple diet for many natives, but it was not considered food for “blacks”. Those who did sample Abalone initially thought it tasted like mutton. Hence the name. Abalone are normally found in deepish water, and it was the work of the native women to dive for them. Most early settlers could not swim, so collecting them was not an option for them unless there was a very low spring tide. Some people persisted, and the papers report attacks by sharks, and in one case by an octopus, on people collecting them. The Chinese started to dry and export them, starting around 1862. By 1871, fishmongers were selling them, in Melbourne of course, where they were recorded as being an “esteemed delicacy”, that fetched a high price. By the end of 1874, they were so popular that they were being shipped from Tasmania to Victoria, for local consumption. In 1880 they were still fetching a good price, and were said to be excellent for soup making and the best were said to come from NSW. One Chinese man reported in the early 1880’s that it wasn’t a good day if he did not collect at least 1000 per day. In 1895 Chinese were still exporting them, but by 1900 they were becoming scarce, and even the Chinese couldn’t find enough in Tasmania to keep their business afloat.

Aborigines were allowed to harvest all they wanted in the early days, but Abalone have now reached critically low levels because of over-exploitation. Strict restrictions had to be put in place to ensure their survival. In WA, this amounts to just 4 strictly supervised hours per year. There simply are not enough left for Aborigines to pursue their traditional harvest, which is done with boats and modern equipment these days. Not naked women diving and collecting what they could while they held their breath under water.

RUPERT GERRITSEN

In Dark Emu, Pascoe acknowledges his debt to both authors (Gammage and Rupert Gerritsen); …. “Gerritsen died in 2013 without ever achieving a university job”, and Pascoe cites him as “a scholar who languished in obscurity because his theories contradicted the mainstream view.” “Rupert should have got all the credit for Dark Emu,” he says candidly, a sentiment that gets ready agreement from Gerritsen’s brother Rolf, a professor of economic and indigenous policy studies at Charles Darwin University. “Ninety per cent of Bruce’s book is taken from my brother’s research,” Rolf Gerritsen says with a chuckle, …” REF: Turning History On Its Head. The Weekend Australian Magazine May 25, 2019

Pascoe is partially correct when he says Rupert Gerritsen “languish(ed) into obscurity because his theories contradicted the mainstream view”. Rupert didn’t languish into obscurity, as he continued on with his research and gained some recognition from that. His failure to get a university position really was very likely to have been “because his theories contradicted the mainstream view.” Rupert had quite different views to most, and was a convicted terrorist. He planted a bomb on the third floor of the Victoria Centre in St Georges Terrace in Perth, on 23 August 1972. Luckily it did not detonate. Gerritsen fled to New Zealand, but was extradited and sentenced to 6 years in jail.  https://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/Hansard/hansard.nsf/0/b941830032169bf1c8257570007f086a/$FILE/A36%20S2%2020020911%20p785b-814a.pdf

BOGAN PICKS

Pascoe claims the so called Bogan Picks, were “so large and heavy that … they had to be used in a pendulum fashion between the legs, like a pick or plough … It’s so heavy you can’t use it above your waist for any length of time. So, this stone was used between your legs. The marks left by the bindings indicated they had been fitted with a handle at right angles to the tool. The stone had not been used to work wood or stone, but had been worked only in soil It is these implements that are crucial to our understanding of Aboriginal agricultural history.  They have received so little study, most have never been displayed, and almost all have no labels. The few that are labelled are tellingly referred to as Bogan River picks.  The Bogan Pick proves Aboriginal peoples turned the soil.“https://www.farmingsecrets.com/bogan-pick-proves-tilling-aboriginal-agricultural-history/

Our research shows Pascoe to be totally wrong, yet again. Have a look at this quite elaborate Bogan Pick (top picture). It looks a lot like a penis. Or a dildo. For good reason. It is a dildo. A Paleolithic dildo.

Pascoe claims “they were so large and heavy that … they had to be used in a pendulum fashion between the legs,”  He then disproves his own story by showing a photo revealing the true size of these artifacts. Have a look at his photo at the bottom. How big and heavy does that look when compared with the tag and piece of string? The dildos actually ranged in size from about 12 cm to 45 cm long. Most were about 30 cm long.

A book published by The Australian Museum, Sydney in 1946, titled “The Stone Implements of Australia”, says “the cylindro-conical stones were used for magical and medicinal purposes. The general consensus of opinion is that the cylindro-conical stones are of ceremonial or ritual significance, somewhat similar to that of the tjuringa of Central Australia.”  They also go on to say that some have chips off the base, and these chips were placed in water and drunk by sick old men, as they believed the properties from the object would heal them. This is hardly something a spiritual person would do with an agricultural implement.  https://media.australianmuseum.net.au/media/Uploads/Journals/17336/515_complete.pdf

In the publication “Aboriginal Paleolithic Artifacts Explained” it says “Museums may claim they don’t know what they were used for exactly, and they say “Aborigines have always denied having any knowledge of their function or meaning”, but some Aborigines, a number of researches over two hundred years ago, and Daisy Bates, all say they were used as a sex tool. For both pleasure, and punishment. During initiation ceremonies, these stones were used to teach young men certain lessons, especially in taking pain.”  https://www.academia.edu/40836291/Aboriginal_Paleolithic_artifacts_explained

So Pascoe’s huge and heavy agricultural implement, is really a small Paleolithic dildo.

ERNEST GILES – EXPLORER.  AND THIEF. According to Bruce Pascoe.

Bruce Pascoe doesn’t like Ernest Giles, and makes every attempt to denigrate him. He accuses Giles of being contemptuous of the Aborigines, while he treats Giles with contempt himself.

The grain theft incident is interesting reading and is clear proof that Pascoe’s claims are wrong. This is what Pascoe said in a Naidoc week speech in 2009.

PASCOE: “Ernest Giles’ brother … was travelling through the Northern Territory, and came across huge stores of what he discovered was grain stored up in platforms three metres off the ground. Each of those stores weighed a tonne. He had never seen anything like it before, but it didn’t stop him stealing it, because, once again, he was an explorer. He was lost, and he was angry. He took the grain that had been stored for the harvesters.”
https://speakola.com/ideas/bruce-pascoe-not-hunter-gatherers-naidoc-2009

PROBLEM: Pascoe’s brother did not, and could not have stolen the grain, because he was never there. Ernest Giles only had one much younger brother, Robert Eugene Giles, who was an accountant in the city. There is not a speck of evidence to suggest that he was even a traveller, much less a bushman, or explorer. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/194475363

Why Ernest Giles’ brother was lost, and angry, Pascoe doesn’t say. He also forgets to say how the brother managed to carry the grain away.
In a later version of this story, he claims this happened at the Finke, in the Northern Territory. The stores were in bags this time, in the trees “to protect them from the vermin and insects”. Ernest Giles brother was still the culprit in this version.

By 2015, his story had changed again, and it was now Ernest Giles himself who found and stole the grain. And flour. This time it also included flour, and it was stored in a silo. It saved Ernest’s life, according to Pascoe, and he makes the comment, “Imagine the dent in the economy that would have made. And we wonder why the Aborigines were fighting to repel the Europeans.”  This information comes from a chapter he wrote in the book “The Intervention: An anthology”, by Rosie Scott (Goodreads Author) (Editor), Anita Heiss (Goodreads Author). ISBN: 9781742235127. Published July 1st 2015 by Crowd-funded by ‘Concerned Australians’.

Giles pops up again in Dark Emu, in Chapter one, when Pascoe says – “Many explorers, including Giles and Ashwin, survived difficult stretches of their journey only after plundering these reserves.”  There is no evidence that Ernest Giles ever found any grain, much less used it for survival, on his explorations.

Pascoe reinforces this story later on in the book with this comment – “The find of tons of grain by Sturt, Giles, and others, have already been mentioned. (See Chapter 1).”  Chapter one does not mention tons of grain at all, and the only mention of Giles is in the sentence above where he claims Giles plundered the “reserves” to survive.

Interestingly, a Christopher Giles, brother of explorer Alfred Giles, but no relation to Ernest and his brother Robert, did find some grain in trees in the Finke area of the Northern Territory. Christopher was a Surveyor for the overland telegraph line. He was not an explorer. Christopher’s men had problems with their washed clothing being stolen when they were left out to dry. While gathering trees for telegraph poles, in the Finke region, Christopher found grain tied up in the arms and legs of the men’s stolen trousers and shirts. The men were not happy of course, and wanted to retrieve their clothing, but Christopher forbade them to touch the clothes and the grain. So if this is the incident Pascoe is referring to, he has it wrong again. On multiple levels. Wrong person. Wrong occupation. He was not lost. He was not angry. He probably wasn’t even hungry. The grain was not stolen either. It was left exactly where it was found, in the men’s stolen clothing.

This is supported in the thesis “Entangled Places, Interactive histories in the western Simpson Desert, central Australia”, written by Ingereth Ann Sinclair MacFarlane, in 2010, Ingereth says  – (Christopher) “Giles also describes the removal and reinterpretation of the construction team’s clothes in the Finke River channel, where he discovered a ‘native granary’ consisting of bags of different kinds of grain, stored up for the winter, or rather the dry season.

Christopher Giles wrote “The bags were of various sizes, and consisted of the legs of our trousers and the sleeves of our shirts, tied up at each end, and filled with seeds. This was too much for the patience of my men, who were for forthwith confiscating the whole lot. But I would not allow this, nor permit anything to be removed”. Pages 195/196.
Ingereth also wrote – “A record by Overland Telegraph Line supervisor Christopher Giles takes these connections further. 1870 was a good year, the best year for the next 20 years in fact. While collecting poles for building the telegraph line in the Finke River bed, Giles encountered a tree platform on which was a ‘native granary’. In it were stores of different grass seeds in bags made from the ends of shirt sleeves and trouser legs that had been appropriated earlier from Giles’ survey team’s washing line (see chapter 3)”. Page 240

An academic paper also records the incident, saying – “C. Giles found grain stored 7-8 feet off the ground. Grain was normally stored for ceremonial purposes, not for saving it for lean times.”

Nowhere is the grain said to have weighed any amount, much less a ton, or a tonne.

1000 PEOPLE. REALLY?

Pascoe writes in Dark Emu that Sir Thomas Mitchell saw “some huts … being large, circular; and made of straight rods meeting at an upright pole at the centre; the outside had first been covered with bark and grass, and then entirely coated over with clay; the fire appeared to have been made nearly in the centre; and a hole at the top had been left as a chimney”. This part is accurate, but then Pascoe writes “He counts the houses and estimates a population of over one thousand. He’s disappointed that nobody’s home; it’s obvious they have only just left, and the evidence is everywhere that they have used the place for a very long time. ”
In Mitchell’s journal, he makes no mention of counting the houses, nor does he estimate the population.  Neither Mitchell, nor Sturt, ever mention any village with a population of over one thousand people.  That is just more of Pascoe’s lies. 

🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

HAGS AND SAVAGES

Pascoe also takes delight in slandering Peter Beveridge. In Dark Emu, on pages 7 and 8, Pascoe writes: – “Peter Beveridge wrote a book about his experiences with Aboriginal people, in which he displayed all of his and Kirby’s prejudices. Despite the fact that his work is crucial to what we know of the Wati Wati clan, and that his list of words is one of the most significant, he can’t disguise his contempt. He refers to the old women as hags, continually refers to the Wati Wati as savages, …….”

Did Peter Beveridge really do these things? No. Of course he didn’t. Not once in his book “Old Times In The Bush Of Australia : Trials And Experiences Of Early Bush Life In Victoria During The Forties”, did Peter Beveridge use the word “hag”. He calls the females only “women” or “lubras”.

What about savages? Mr Beveridge mentions black savages twice, savages twice, and white savages twice. One whole chapter is devoted to “white savages”.  That doesn’t sound like using the word “savages” continually in my book. Here is the context of those words.

On page 19, he writes “I had flattered myself that I was done with savages, when I left the Murray, but the black savages there, although bad enough, were good men in comparison with these white ones.”

“The “new chums” in most cases, had either read or heard that the savages have chiefs;” (page 75)

“What I have written so far, has been chiefly concerning the black savages of the colony.  I will now give some of my experiences among the white savages.” (page 118)

Hardly contemptuous, or hardly continual use, as claimed by Pascoe.

PERTH IS ON ITS WAY OUT

This story originally ran in issue #58 of Dumbo Feather Feb 7, 2019

Bruce said – “But capitalism has to die or the world will die with it.  It’s resource-based and it’s running out of resources. And the first resource will be water. Perth is a city that doesn’t have its own water anymore. It will collapse. It will be like Atlantis. It will disappear. Unless we get more frugal with water, start growing crops that don’t need water …..”

Really?
News flash Bruce. Perth is not going to collapse and die at all. Perth does have its own drinking water. Plenty of it. How can you not know that we have desalination plants to supply Perth, and most of WA’s southern country towns with good, fresh, drinking water? And we have had the first desalination plant since 2006. Are you really 13 years behind the times, or are you just saying the first idiotic comment that pops into your head, all to feed your desperate need to remain in the limelight?

LITTLE VENICE

Little Venice.  Ah, Little Venice.   In this 2016 episode of Conversations, with Richard Fidler, Bruce Pascoe discusses houses and villages, and he claims (at the 43.30 mark) that a great example of these houses and villages was near Lake Mungo, where the Aborigines enlarged a channel, and built their houses on either side. It looked like a “Little Venice” according to Bruce, with all of the canoes drawn up on the sides of this canal. It would have been a great place to live, apparently.  Bruce Pascoe on the complex question of Aboriginal agriculture.     https://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2016/02/01/4397892.htm

This all sounds very civilised, and this is what Little Venice looks like. I don’t know how Bruce can possibly know this, because Lake Mungo dried up completely, between 18,000 and 22,000 years ago.

WARRNAMBOOL

Pascoe says in https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf – “And even when Gough Whitlam was Prime Minister (1972-1975), Aboriginal people weren’t allowed to walk down the main street of Warrnambool.”

We wrote to the Warrnambool City Council, and according to them, that is not correct. Their Manager of Communications said “I believe Bruce Pascoe’s point was that Aboriginal people may have been made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome walking down the main street at that time.”

Which is not what Pascoe said at all.

Is Bruce Pascoe an Aboriginal man?

 

Is Bruce Pascoe really Aboriginal, or is he a white man?

Pascoe makes constant references to the fact that he is an Aboriginal man. It has become his claim to fame, and he perpetuates the story, as he needs people to believe that he is Aboriginal. A large part of this recognition is essential for him to support his theories in Dark Emu, a book which claims Aborigines were not only hunter gatherers, but were also agriculturalists and aquaculturalists.  A group of like minded people have studied Dark Emu, and the sources that Pascoe quotes as references for his information. We have found that those sources either can’t be found, or if found, don’t match Pascoe’s claims. He blatantly lies, uses misleading words and terminology to give a different impression, or cherry picks the parts he wants, and leaves out the wording that disprove his theories. This book, is now part of the school curriculum. Even more worrying is the fact that a new version “Young Dark Emu” has been published, to target younger and more innocent school children.

Given that Pascoe has publicly stated that when it comes to lies, he is shameless, and given that he contradicts himself frequently, on just where his Aboriginal bloodlines come from, the thought occurred to us that maybe he would also lie about his ancestry.  Amateur historians and genealogists within the group researched his family tree, and this is the result of our research. I have to emphasize here, that we don’t know whether Bruce has Aboriginal blood or not. Probably nobody knows what our ancestors really got up to in their day. There is always the possibility of rape as well. That cannot be ruled out. Only a DNA test would verify our true heritage for all of us. However, we do know that Bruce constantly changes his story on where his Aboriginal heritage comes from, and has refused to reveal which ancestors this heritage does come from. Why is he shy about his bloodlines, when he is so voluble about having Aboriginal heritage? Anyway, this is our paper trail. With genealogy, it is quite easy to follow the wrong paper trail, so we don’t claim to be 100% accurate, but we have researched the extended families of each ancestor listed as well, and we are confident that we have nailed it.

This then, is the complete list of Bruce Pascoe’s ancestors, as far as we can determine, and where they came from. Once we come to the ancestor from England, we no longer follow that line as we have exhausted the possibility of Aboriginal heritage there.

Some of Pascoe’s claims about being Aboriginal.

“And part of my family, the white side of my Pascoe family, come from Lockhart river.” https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/author-talk-bruce-pascoe

Bruce says “I am in fact Aboriginal.”  https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/indigenous-author-challenges-australians-on-our-fraudulent-history-20190805-p52dvx.html

“I’m not very black. I’m sure that in years to come the Aboriginal community will be under pressure from bureaucracies to exclude people whose heritage is from a great-grandmother who did everything she could to become white, to merge with the master class.”  https://www.theage.com.au/national/time-to-meet-the-aborigines-you-werent-taught-about-20070531-ge50mw.html

My great-grandmother adopted a new identity. …. It was quite common between 1840 and 1920 for young Victorian women to change their identities. To unravel all the changed surnames, muddy histories of marriages, births, deaths and so called adoptions is a confusing paper chase. While that chase led me to the birthplace of my great grandmother and scattered details of her life, it also led me through a history I’d never been taught. https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20090716060926/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/60213/20090703-0733/www.fatsil.org.au/14-Paper-Trail-by-Bruce-Pascoe-/VOTL36/Paper-Trail-by-Bruce-Pascoe.html

“And I think, when you start speaking Language, you notice the difference in your own soul, and you notice the difference when you are looking at birds and speaking their name. It does my soul good to go back and talk words that my great-grandmother would have spoken.” Aboriginal Community Leaders Interviews – Transcript

“The really pleasing thing for me like a lot of Aboriginal people, I missed out on my culture and the only way of finding my way back was to write about it because it was the only skill I had.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/23/i-consider-myself-lucky-to-learn-about-my-culture-too-many-aboriginal-people-missed-out

“I had to learn my Aboriginal history and I had to learn Aboriginal etiquette by making mistakes.” https://griffithreview.com/articles/andrew-bolts-disappointment

Pascoe acknowledges the “schizophrenic” nature of ­having both Anglo and indigenous ancestry yet choosing one over the other. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f

By the time he was 40, he had fully identified as Koori and was immersing himself in indigenous language and the history of frontier massacres, a subject that sparked ructions in the farming community where he lived. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f

Perpetuating the claim – with a little help from his friends.

“Pascoe, whose great-grandmother was Aboriginal.” https://www.edenmagnet.com.au/story/3914109/bruces-book-of-the-year-success/May 18 2016

“Bruce Pascoe is an indigenous writer whose white-fella heritage links to Cornwall in England, and whose Aboriginal bloodlines span Bunurong, Yuin and Tasmania country, Australia. His is one of the excruciatingly few voices left of the most ancient surviving culture on this planet. The reasons for that are dark and terrible. They are part of a shadow that haunts the Australian culture, and all cultures really, in the same way your own wounds, grief and abuses haunt you – you know… the ones you’re too ashamed to admit.” Verity La October 19, 2016 Lighthouse Yarns.

His friend and ­fellow writer Gregory Day theorises that Pascoe connects with general readers because “he knows what it feels like to be a whitefella — in a sense, Bruce is translating it for whitefellas.”

“It’s a positive message that a lot of people want to hear, and Bruce is an Aboriginal man telling it,” says Ian McNiven, professor of indigenous archaeology at Monash University. From The Weekend Australian Magazine  May 25, 2019

SPOTLIGHT ON… Indigenous Australian authors: Bruce Pascoe  https://ausromtoday.com/2013/09/11/spotlight-on-indigenous-australian-authors-bruce-pascoe

“In the broader indigenous community, Pascoe’s acceptance is now so established that he is ­routinely bestowed the honorific “uncle”, and he was anointed Person of the Year at the 2018 Dreamtime Awards.” Ref: Thu, 01 Aug 2019 21:22:25 ‘Connecting to Sea Country’

…he was summoned to a meeting with.. a Yuin elder, arriving to find himself at a cultural ceremony…the beginning of his ­complete acculturation into indigenous lore, although Pascoe again declines to elaborate. “This is an honour but not something we talk about, nor do we point to the marks,” he says, adding that he prefers not to use the term “initiated” because of its capacity to be overdramatised. “I don’t call myself an elder,” he says, “just older.”

“Bruce Pascoe (born 1947) is an Indigenous Australian writer, of mixed Bunurong, Yuin, and Aboriginal Tasmanian (Palawa) heritage.”  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Pascoe

The third conversation of the day with esteemed elder Bruce Pascoe, …. Connecting Sea to Country – Episode 3 Conversations in the Littoral –  “I love writing and I love telling stories. There are different ways to tell stories and I don’t feel any of them are forbidden to me. Our old people were storytellers. The more I become immersed in my culture I’ve realised that in Aboriginal life, storytellers are revered. A community wants a spiritual person, a practical person, a nurturing person. They also want a storytelling person. My role in Aboriginal life has sanction. I’m continuously being asked by my own people to tell this or that story, or not to tell that story. Fellow writers think that’s terrible, but it’s not like that in Aboriginal ways or story; it’s something you can treasure. That story is within, you find a way to tell it in another way.” https://byronwritersfestival.com/blog/shifting-paradigms-bruce-pascoe-and-hidden-history

“Bruce Pascoe is an Indigenous writer from the Bunurong clan”

“Many of Pascoe’s books are written in English but awash with Indigenous language words”

VICTIMHOOD

Pascoe also likes to reinforce the idea that he too suffered because of his Aboriginal heritage, and that his family hid their heritage because of shame. He is a victim. Or so he claims.

“My family, I hid their identity.  In order to find some branches of our family, I had to go and talk to people from those language groups”. http://stream-media.loc.gov/webcasts/captions/2015nbf/15_aus_storiesdownunder.txt.

“Bruce said his family denied their own Aboriginality for a long time. When he investigated the “glaring absences” in their family story, he was inevitably drawn into Aboriginal society and culture.” From the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

“My family didn’t know anything about their heritage or if they did know, those that knew weren’t talking about it, … ” https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf

“I am one of the lost. We weren’t stolen. We hid. You can’t blame anyone. It was a survival impulse. I am surrounded by families who did the same.” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-25/bruce-pascoe-doesnt-think-much-about-the-1967-referendum/8349860

“Today Pascoe can identify moments in his childhood when the hidden history of his family was briefly illuminated: the taunt of “nigger lips” at primary school.” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f

“Everywhere you look in our family there is the black trace. In every family branch there is the contact, and yet the reflex for most is to remain in hiding.” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-25/bruce-pascoe-doesnt-think-much-about-the-1967-referendum/8349860

“I had moments of anger, frustration and juvenile rage but the Elders would just shake their head at me and say, ‘no use getting upset son, we’ve got to get even.’ – juvenile rage?, and yet he says it was 1982 (when he was 35 years old!) and ….”I was trying to track down my Aboriginal heritage…” https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2019/06/23/shocking-lie-bruce-pascoe-opens-about-his-search-pre-colonial-truth   http://www.selectsurnames.com/pascoe2.html

“I was an ignorant Australian when I began looking for Aboriginal family but elders including some from my own family patiently educated me in an Australian history which was at complete odds with what I had learnt at both school and university. It was a shaming experience because it showed how gullible I had been and so ready to dismiss my own people as useless in their defence of their heritage.”  https://ausromtoday.com/2013/09/11/spotlight-on-indigenous-australian-authors-bruce-pascoe

“One lady …… in Mornington, she was Aboriginal, … kept on asking searching questions and because I didn’t know she became a little bit annoyed …. she got a bit shirty with me. And since we’ve begun looking for our family I can understand that now because the family was just shattered, split up, and running from one poverty-stricken situation to another. ….. But in later years, in talking to my father, and even from the time of when I was about 12 my father kept on introducing me to Aboriginal people ….. and as I’ve studied more and more about the family it’s just really telling that so many of the family friends were Aboriginal families and were always in association, living in the streets with Aboriginal people and, which you could account for from living in poverty, but there must have been an element of choice there as well. We’re still searching for family, you know, we’re finding them all over the country.  https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf 

What? Living in the streets of Mornington, with Aboriginals, because of poverty? But we also have “But in later years, in talking to my father, …” 

Compare that with this “(My dad) only told me one story and I’ve written it word for word in my novel, Earth (Magabala, 2001). It is almost the only thing we know of that past……”    Salt: Selected Essays and Stories.

LYING 

Bruce is quite happy to admit that he doesn’t always stick to the truth. As he wrote – “My first visa application describing myself as a writer had failed, my second, more like my father than me, and lodged in Port Moresby, had proved successful. I am shameless. Most writers are.” https://walleahpress.com.au/FR42Pascoe.html

HIS “ABORIGINAL” FAMILY

Bruce makes constant references to his Aboriginal heritage, but he has trouble remembering what he said last time, and contradicts his own story. Sometimes he claims strong Aboriginal heritage, and at other times he claims very little. He also varies as to which side of the family the Aboriginal heritage comes from. Sometimes it is his mother’s side, sometimes his father’s side, and sometimes both.

Here are some of his quotes –

“My family is solidly Cornish, and solidly Aboriginal. Without either of them, I don’t exist. You can’t deny any part of that which produced you. You have to pay respect.” https://byronwritersfestival.com/blog/shifting-paradigms-bruce-pascoe-and-hidden-history/

“(Bruce) admitted that his indigenous ancestry was distant, and he was “more Cornish than Koori”. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f

“(Bruce says that he) has a “complex” racial background, which includes Bunurong (south-central Victoria), Yuin (NSW south coast) and Tasmanian Aboriginal, as well as ancestry from Cornwall in the UK.” https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/feb/18/indigenous-writer-bruce-pascoe-on-why-australias-literary-giants-have-failed

“We had a big day at Smithsonian Institute, Library of Congress.  I said I’m in the land of the blood quantum.  I said you know, because we’ve had this discussion with my kids before.  I said if they bring in blood quantum into our country, you two are going to foul because you know, this is probably the reality of it.  I hope it never does happen.” From the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

“Yeah. I was born on Bunurong country. Lived on Yuin land. But we’ve also got that Tasmanian connection, also a South Australian connection as well. You start following the family line and it spreads out around you.” https://www.dumbofeather.com/conversations/bruce-pascoe-interview 

“Bruce discovered there was an Aboriginal connection in the family, after the death of his father (in 1989)”. Gloria Pascoe (Bruce’s mother), from “Gloria – Light In The Dark”

“My family didn’t know anything about their heritage or if they did know, those that knew weren’t talking about it, so it wasn’t until I was 18 or so that I was made aware of it by an uncle. And it wasn’t then until I was about 30 years old that I began investigating the family history. So in during my schooling I was not identified as an Aboriginal person simply because I hadn’t gone to the trouble of finding it out and there wasn’t anyone in my family, apart from old Uncle Alf, who knew anything at all.” https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf

Like, how much did you know, Dad?”  Salt: Selected Essays and Stories

Both sides of the family

“Pascoe says he found indigenous ancestors on both sides of his family, tracing them to Tasmania, to the Bunurong people of Victoria and the Yuin of southern NSW.” “https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f

Black, white, or grey?

Bruce gives us the first leads to his ancestry, by referring to his parents, Alf and Una (Gloria) Pascoe. Bruce often mentions his father.

But ever since I was a boy, Aborigines asked me who I was. I always said, “I’m Alf Pascoe’s son.’’ 

He also mentions his father was in the RAAF during WWII.

This is his father’s RAAF record.

So Alf was born 2 April 1916, at Williamstown, Victoria. Alf’s birth certificate.

His wife, Una Gloria, is his next of kin.  Alf and Gloria married in 1941.

Alf died in 1989.

Bruce wrote a book about his mother, and she has a Biography on Trove.nla which also shows her immediate family members.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/37218807

Una “Gloria” Cowland Smith  was born on 19 February 1919 in North Fitzroy, to John and Cecil Gertrude Smith, and she died in March 2004.

Gloria’s birth certificate is not available. Neither is her death certificate.

Gloria’s father was John Smith, and he was born in Leicestershire, England, in 1864, and he died at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Victoria, in 1952.

John Smith’s death notice.

John Smith’s headstone, showing where he was born. Leicestershire, England.

John Smith married “Girtie” Cecil (also sometimes written as Cecilia) Gertrude Cowland in 1904.  Their marriage registration.

Cecil “Girtie” was born in 1875 at Pleasant Creek, Victoria, and she died in 1963, in Kew, Victoria.  “Girtie’s) birth registration.

Cecil Gertrude’s grave alongside her husband’s – John Smith.

Girtie’s parents were Sarah Matthews and the celebrated builder, William Unwin Cowland.

Sarah Matthews was born in Staffordshire / Worcester, in England, in 1847 and died in Victoria in 1879. She came to Australia on the ship Burlington, arriving in Fremantle on 8 April, 1863.

Sarah’s birth record

Sarah Cowland’s death registration. With atrocious spelling.

Hubby William was born in Prittlewell, Essex, England, in 1824 and died in Glenorchy, Stawell, Victoria in 1900. William had a stroke, resulting in paralysis.

A photograph of William Unwin Cowland, from the collection of the Clunes Museum, 36 Fraser Street, Clunes, Victoria.

William was a bricklayer, and he built the Ballarat Town Hall, the Clunes Town Hall, and various other buildings. He also built the Glenorchy Weir.  He became the President of Stawell. He was born in 1825, in Essex, England, and died in 1900, and was buried in Glenorchy.  William had three wives, and 11 children.

Death – William Unwin Cowland

Photos of Bruce Pascoe and his great-grandfather, William Unwin Cowland. Bruce definitely has William’s genes. Tidy Bruce up a bit, and he’s a dead ringer.

“Today Pascoe can identify moments in his childhood when the hidden history of his family was briefly illuminated: the taunt of “nigger lips” at primary school.”  

I kid you not. Aboriginal people never had distinctive lips. Their lips come in all shapes and sizes, so why lips were chosen to tease him is a mystery. Noses, legs, ankles and brows would have been more logical choices.
However, Bruce does appear to have William Unwin’s nose. What a shame we can’t see William’s lips to see if they too are the same as Bruce’s. Bruce certainly didn’t inherit his teeth from any Aboriginal genes. No lovely big strong pearly whites there.

🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️🖤

So this is Bruce Pascoe’s family tree on his mum’s side, and where each person was born.

Una Gloria Cowland Smith – Mother

John Smith (Leicestershire, England) – Grandfather

Cecil (Cecilia) Gertrude Cowland (Victoria) – Grandmother

William Unwin Cowland (Essex, England) – Great-Grandfather

Sarah Matthews  (Staffordshire, England) – Great-Grandmother

So there is no obvious Aboriginal blood in this line, and yet, Pascoe says  – “Mine is only a remote Aboriginal heritage,  going back to my mother’s grandmother.”  https://www.theaustralian.com.au .  How can this be? Unless we are mistaken, his mother’s grandmother was Sarah Matthews, from Staffordshire in the UK.

“I’m not very black. I’m sure that in years to come the Aboriginal community will be under pressure from bureaucracies to exclude people whose heritage is from a great-grandmother who did everything she could to become white, to merge with the master class.”  https://www.theage.com.au/national/time-to-meet-the-aborigines-you-werent-taught-about-20070531-ge50mw.html.  Bruce hasn’t actually said that this great-grandmother was his great-grandmother in this statement, but he has certainly implied it. If this lady was not his great-grandmother, he has also assumed that she would do whatever she could to “become” white. To merge with the “master class”.  It seems very presumptuous for him to assume to know this. To not give her enough credit to have been happy in her own skin.

“And I think, when you start speaking Language, you notice the difference in your own soul, and you notice the difference when you are looking at birds and speaking their name. It does my soul good to go back and talk words that my great-grandmother would have spoken.” Aboriginal Community Leaders Interviews – Transcript.  There is no implying in this statement. Bruce has said “my great-grandmother”. This Aboriginal great-grandmother cannot be Sarah Cowland, as she is English. It must be another great-grandmother.

“Pascoe, whose great-grandmother was Aboriginal.” https://www.edenmagnet.com.au/story/3914109/bruces-book-of-the-year-success/May 18 2016

Bruce also said “…. My mother’s family is said to be Aboriginal but that’s been a difficult search”  https://ausromtoday.com/2013/09/11/spotlight-on-indigenous-australian-authors-bruce-pascoe

He also says “His mother’s brother sometimes alluded to their Aboriginal ancestry.”  https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f   His mother’s brother was Vincent Cowland Smith. Vincent was 6 years older than Gloria, and it is hard to believe that neither Gloria, nor brother Vincent didn’t know their father was English. Given that their grandfather was a well known figure, and his children were all given Cowland as a name, it is also highly unlikely that the siblings didn’t know that he too, was English. As was his wife.

“My family didn’t know anything about their heritage or if they did know, those that knew weren’t talking about it, so it wasn’t until I was 18 or so that I was made aware of it by an uncle. And it wasn’t then until I was about 30 years old that I began investigating the family history. So in during my schooling I was not identified as an Aboriginal person simply because I hadn’t gone to the trouble of finding it out and there wasn’t anyone in my family, apart from old Uncle Alf, who knew anything at all.” https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:160504/Kelly.pdf  The problem with this statement, is that Bruce does not appear to have had an Uncle Alf. Or even a Great Uncle Alf. If he existed, we can’t find him.

Pascoe says he found indigenous ancestors on both sides of his family, tracing them to Tasmania, to the Bunurong people of Victoria and the Yuin of southern NSW. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f

Bruce also says – “and found that both my mother’s and father’s families had an Aboriginal connection. I was amazed to find that the families knew each other in Tasmania years before my father met my mother at a Melbourne Baptist church.” http://docplayer.net/99891518-Praise-for-griffith-review.html  We can’t find any evidence that Bruce’s mother’s family ever lived in Tasmania. Some of his father’s family were there though. They were farmers in the early days. They were possibly responsible for displacing Aboriginal people from their land.

On Bruce’s dad’s side, his grandfather was Joseph Harold Pascoe, born in 1891 at Ballarat and died in 1933 in Prahran in Victoria. Joseph’s wife was Claudina (Claudia) Alice Palmer. They wed in 1915. Claudina died in 1967.

Alfred William Palmer’s father was Thomas Edward Palmer, born in Devon, England in 1830 and died in 1906 in Richmond Victoria.

Thomas Edward Palmer’s wife Alice Berry, was born in Launceston, Tasmania in 1837 and died in 1861 after giving birth.  Alice’s Baptism record. Second from the bottom.

Rebecca’s father was William Arnold, born in Winterborne, Kingston, Dorset, England, on 9 Nov 1834 and died in Footscray, Melbourne in 1915. He left Dorset in 1855, on board the “America”.  Several family members, including his parents (John and Phoebe Arnold), followed him and settled in Victoria.

William’s wife was Emily Maria Berry. She was born in 1846 at Port Sorell, Tasmania, and died in 1919 at Footscray.   Her birth registration.

The marriage of William Arnold and Emily Maria Berry. Emily’s name has written as Emelia Morriah Berry, possibly because of their different accents, but it is duly witnessed by her brother William James Berry, and her sister, Jane Berry, so we know it is her.

Death notice for Emily Maria Arnold (Berry). Note her son-in-law – Mr A.W. Palmer  (Alfred William Palmer) gets a mention.

Both Emily Maria Berry and Alice Berry had the same parents. These were Joseph Berry and Sarah Wright.

Joseph Berry was possibly born 3 June 1811.  He came from Ramsbury, Wiltshire, England, and died in 1880. He sailed to Tasmania on the ship “Forth”, arriving in 1832. His future wife, Sarah Wright, was also on board with her parents, John and Alice Wright, and her 5 siblings.

Sarah Wright 1819-1875. (Suffolk, England) – Great-Great-Great-Grandmother

Pascoe once stated that his great-grandmother had an Aboriginal name, but declines to elaborate today because the claim has put him in dispute with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, which polices claims of Aboriginality in that state.……. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f  This Tasmanian great-grandmother is a mystery. Rebecca Arnold is the only great-grandmother born in Tasmania, but her father was from Devon and her mother had English parents, so it cannot be her.

“I’m not very black. I’m sure that in years to come the Aboriginal community will be under pressure from bureaucracies to exclude people whose heritage is from a great-grandmother who did everything she could to become white, to merge with the master class.”  https://www.theage.com.au/national/time-to-meet-the-aborigines-you-werent-taught-about-20070531-ge50mw.html  Here is another mystery. Which great-grandmother might this lady be? It’s not Sarah Cowland, and it’s not Rebecca Arnold either. Both are of English stock, not Aboriginal.

The family tree for these people is as follows –

Francis Pascoe 1860-1935. (Victoria) – Great-Grandfather

Elizabeth Jane Hall 1868-1952. (Victoria) – Great-Grandmother

Francis Pascoe 1814-1864. (Cornwall, UK) – Great-Great-Grandfather

John Hall 1832-1881 (Northumberland, England) – Great-Great-Grandfather

Elizabeth Law 1841 – ?  (Durham, England) – Great-Great-Grandmother

Francis and Jane Pascoe, Bruce’s Great-Great-Grandparents are his claim to being Cornish. He says “My family is solidly Cornish, and solidly Aboriginal. Without either of them, I don’t exist.”  https://byronwritersfestival.com/blog/shifting-paradigms-bruce-pascoe-and-hidden-history/  He also “admitted that his indigenous ancestry was distant, and he was “more Cornish than Koori”.    https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/bruce-pascoe-the-man-behind-dark-emu/news-story/231cefabce2f0103de26b6402fef0e3f 

Pascoe also states – “And part of my family, the white side of my Pascoe family, come from Lockhart river.”  https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/author-talk-bruce-pascoe  Unfortunately, we can’t find any trace of the white side of the Pascoe family in Queensland. We couldn’t find any trace of the black side either though. There are lots of Pascoes in the Lockhart River area, and in the Pascoe River area, but the only Pascoes we could find in our family tree were in South Australia and Victoria. (The Pascoe River is named for an entirely different Pascoe. A Lieutenant Pascoe, the officer in command of the party of marines who arrived at Somerset on 25th March, 1863, and who returned to England in 1867.)

WHITE DEATHS BY THE BLACKS

 

australianhistory972829073 Uncategorized

AUSTRALIAN HISTORY – TRUTH MATTERS

Massacres only happened to blacks – according to some.

A woman named Professor Lyndall Ryan has created a map showing massacres of Aborigines, at the hands of the whites, in Australia. It is called “Colonial Frontier Massacres in Central and Eastern Australia, 1788-1930”. Ms Ryan and her team of helpers were given government funding to compile her biased compilation. The link is here – https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres

Now strangely, there are very few white victims on her map. Of the 250 so called massacres, only 10 involved whites.  Her idea of a massacre is a bit unusual too. If 6 people were killed in the same area over the course of a year, she calls it a massacre. That equates to one victim every 2 months for a year.  Go figure.

I couldn’t find any listings anywhere on the internet of non Aboriginal victims who died at the hands of the natives. Although there is no end of readily available information on the blacks that died. How odd.  Another curious phenomenon is that most academics and people of Aboriginal descent deny that Australian Aborigines were involved in cannibalism. Clearly this is not the case. The kidney fat especially, was highly prized, and often taken from the murder victims. In fact, it was even taken before the victim died, leaving the poor unfortunate to suffer a slow agonising death.

To try to balance the records, I have set about listing the details of everybody I can find who were murdered by the blacks.  What I haven’t included, is all of those people who were seriously wounded, but didn’t die. I have assumed that these victims survived. Many of these people were never the same again, due to head injuries, damaged lungs and spinal injuries, and limbs chopped off.  I also haven’t included the many Australian natives and half-castes who were working with the whites and who were also murdered, as that is not the intention of this data, but some do get a mention in passing.

I should also say here, that there would have been even more white deaths had many of the natives, especially the women, not warned the whites of impending trouble. There are countless examples of that happening, and quite often the women were speared and killed because they spoke out. There were also quite a few examples of some men wanting to attack the whites, and some of their fellow tribesmen trying to stop them. Possibly this was because they didn’t want the repercussions of killing the whites, but I also think it indicates that not everybody agreed with the killings. There are good and bad people everywhere. I also found cases where some natives were attacking the whites, while others, from different tribes probably, were trying to rescue the whites.

This list is a job in progress. I am constantly adding to it, as I find more victims, so am adding names as I find them. The “Details” are a reference as to how the victims died, and also for my own use, as it helps to avoid doubling up and adding people in twice.  More often than not, lowly shepherds were not named, although their employer often was, which helps to eliminate putting victims in twice.  My information has all been found on trove.nla, so all should be verifiable through searching that site, but I am slowly adding the source notes to the list, to make the victims easier to find. I usually only add one source, although there are often multiple articles on the one event. If the source column is not visible, you should be able to see it by scrolling to the right.  The deaths are arranged by date.

The deaths are grouped according to the state or territory in which they were committed. Or where I think they were committed.  I make no guarantees that the locations mentioned are actually in the state that I have quoted though. Some were right near the border, and some have names that no longer exist. My knowledge of places is limited, so if you see errors – and I have no doubt there will be many – please let me know. The same applies to any other details that you may know are incorrect, or to victims that have not yet been mentioned.

Clearly, Aborigines were not the only victims in the conflict. A common saying is that many black deaths went unrecorded, and of course they did, but a squatter at the time also wrote that for every white death recorded, another 50 white deaths went unrecorded.

Aug 1850	Gregory Blaxland	Burnett River/Wide Bay	Gin Gin Station. Several shepherds were also killed here (Including the two Pegg boys).  Blaxland was killed within fifty yards of his own house, in broad daylight. They hid the body in one of the deepest holes in the creek, where the water was six feet deep, and jammed the body under a large tea tree root. The body was found next morning, and was an unforgettably shocking sight. His face and head were so battered as to have lost all semblance of humanity. We had scarcely conveyed the master to the hut, when we heard that another shepherd was murdered. But this time it was found that the man was not dead, but had both eyes gouged out with the end of a nulla nulla — a dreadful sight to behold. The blacks killed or drove away one-half of the sheep on the station, and burned the grass after them so as to obliterate the track. We however managed to follow one flock of lambing ewes, the lambs just dropped serving to mark their track. Some of these, but a few hours old, we found scorched and nearly roasted by the fire.	https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12935605  https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/148018636	2 men were wounded at Blaxland’s
