Notes: The communities listed in the original document submitted by Mr. Gould have been sorted with one community per page but I have included his notes for the document on each and every page. Notes: The above list was retrieved from a report to the British Colonial Office given by the captain of the Crocodile in . It gives a hint of the sparsity of the population and how separated they were from one another by geography. Their common 1838 occupation {the fishery} and their native ancestry appears to be the only bonds or threads which held them together along the rugged coast line. Notes from Bud Gould. |
