Primitive in Habits and Strict Marriage Laws Described
Mr. R. H. Croll spoke at Melbourne on his visit to the Northern Territory noting tribal customs of eight groups governing marriage, with a girl deemed his mother and multiple wives. He described nude, healthy tribes, quick fire-making, and social rules enforcing group-based unions amid harsh aboriginal laws. He also touched on colonial contrasts in fuel distribution and a radio advertisement concludes the piece.
