Mulwarree Tommy and the Taralga Aboriginal Lore
A brief note from Mr Chae to the Goulburn Evening Post discusses Taralga Aboriginal lore surrounding Mulwarree Tommy, an early figure tied to the Cookbundoon and Stockyard Creek battles. The letter recalls tribes such as the Carraburgle and Lachlan, mentions graves and places like Landsdowne Beidys and Yarragumry, and notes colonial records and memorials preserved in Landstown Ridge. The writer aims to reestablish memory of a fading folk and its connections to early Australian frontier history.
