There is quite a lot of material of anthropological interest, including comment on Aborigines of the Pangarang, Oorilin and Benhedore tribes, referring to corroborees, the position of women, attacks on settlers, canoe-building, food-gathering, tribal boundaries and the Aboriginal Protectorate Stations.
