“Lassiter's drama was such a story with the aborigines. He searched in a hard land and perished where other humans had lived for ages. What then was the secret?

On on had a person in a hurry, on the other a people who took everything as it came.”
W.E. Harney, To Ayer's Rock and Beyond
“Yet as I went around that first day I was ashamed at the terrible names that have been given to such lovely places. "Surely" I thought to myself, "the aborigines of this land must have given to these places names in keeping with their way of life? How thoughtlessly do we white people destroy. Not only the customs and hunting patterns of the people, but their mythological beliefs are trampled underfoot in our endeavour to save them from a very mythical thing called "Hell-fire".”
W.E. Harney, To Ayer's Rock and Beyond
