I’m starting to get into a new project in a couple of Anaiwan/dhunghetti locations on the Tablelands. Surveying some male dominated oral history plus dominant settler pastoral narratives. But there are traces of other histories… including the story of Mary-Ann Bugg, Indig partner of ‘Thunderbolt’ 🗃️

Stained glass window at Uralla Info Centre with red and yellow Indigenous painting of what looks like a turtle and a woman’s hands holding a Certificate of Exemption for Bill Murray that allows him to move around without their restrictions that most Indigenous people had put on them as a result of the New South Wales ‘Aboriginal Protection Act’
A large statue representing Captain Thunderbolt (bushranger in the 1860s) on a horse on a corner in Uralla, erected at the 100th anniversary his death.
