Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Time Australian Life This method of climbing trees is wonderful, but descending still more so. Trees with 60 or 70 feet of trunk are negotiated by the natives entirely depending on little notches made in the bark as they ascend - only a few of the boldest men can do it. When the tree is of such a size in trunk as can be partly grasped round, or has some slope, it is easier. The natives from custom can use their feet nearly as readily as hands. The man standing at foot of tree has his head covered with twigs of gum tree, which they commonly do in hot sun. It has a powerful and refreshing aromatic perfume. Corroboree Kalangadoo, South Australia, 1853 When the full moon her glorious orb displays, Australia´s wild men, joyous ´neath her rays, Smeared o´er with paint, in rude fantastic glee, Dance, shout, and sing their wild Corroboree!
