About This Item
Brewarrina, NSW: Brewarrina Historical Society, 1976. Paperback oblong quarto, very good condition, black & white photos & drawings (some full-page), spine ends little rubbed, corner tips covers little scuffed, minor edgewear. 74 pp. Peter Dargin describes in detail the onetime Aboriginal fisheries in Brewarrina, northern New South Wales, which was a major historic Aboriginal enterprise of the area. He describes the history of the local Aboriginal people and their customs which provides context to the remarkable extensive fishing traps and nets in the local rivers. For several reasons, the fisheries gradually declined with increasing white settlement. (Limited edition of 2000 copies.).
