Corroboree (Indigenous)
Source:
Dungog Chronicle 27 January 1899
Details:
I remember in particular there was a big gum that grew at the corner of Brown and Dowling Streets, which stood long after all the other trees had been cut down. Close to that big gum one day I saw two blackfellows fighting, Crandin Joe and Jerry were struggling to decide which had the better right to claim Maria, a black gin. Maria was seated at the foot of the tree awaiting the issue of the contest. While the blacks were fighting Ruggy Joe rode up on his old stock horse Bally, and dismounting, sat down to watch the melee. Instantly the gin took charge of the horse, mounted him and started off at a good pace up the road towards Cairnsmore. Ruggy followed her ou foot, while the two blacks stood amazed. I suppose there are few if any blacks left in Dungog now. A good many years ago there was a cobon cor roboree on Burnt Gully Creek, when there were assembled blacks from Gloucester, the Allyn, the Paterson, and the Upper Hunter.
