Date: 18 August 1877
Place: Paterson river district
Source: MM
Details: George, King of Cawarra was a universal favourite among the whites, and held more influence over his countrymen than any other chief in the dsitrict from the period to which I have referred. He had been very severely wounded on one occasion by a young man whom he had approached under the idea that he was unarmed; but the artful fellow had trailed a spear along the ground, keeping it from view held between his toes, until he was within throwing distance. It struck George in the foot, just below the ancle and went right through. He broke it off and managed to reach the residence of Dr. Scott, the original prorieter of Wallalong who succeeded in extracting it. Poor George was, however, lamed for life. It was not ver ylong after this that he was attacked in camp at night by some Maitland blacks and had his jaw smashed with a waddie.

Place: Paterson river district
Source: Hunter Estates Comparative Heritage Study
Details: It is probable King George who was described at a ritual in the late 1820s or early 1830s at a place between Dunmore House and Bolwarra also had traditional attachments to land around Gresford where Henry Lindeman had by 1843 established his 800 acre property he named Cawarra. The correspondent in the 1877 recollection also wrote George held more influence over his country-men than any other chief in the district, from the period to which I have referred, and adds he had employed George one time in pulling corn. Little more is known about George other than his dress at the time consisted solely of a swallow-tailed blue cloth coat, with brass buttons, and an old tall black hat which had a look that George appeared more pleased than angry at the laugh which his singular appearance, thus apparelled, created.

Details: Description of Jerry, King of the tribe near Merton c. 1825 in the Memoirs of Mrs. Ellen Bundock.......Amongst my recollections of my childhood was playing with my brother, Fred, outside the house when, on looking up, we suddenly saw the whole hill covered with blacks, all armed to the teeth except the King or Chief Jerry, who was most amiable to us—a fine dignified looking man. He was clothed in an opossum skin rug and strips of fur found the loins and kept shaking hands with each of us in turn to convince his subjects that he was on friendly terms with us. Our father was absent in Sydney just then, so our mother was alone with us children and only a few men convicts about the place. The only weapon the chief had was a waddy stuck in his belt, which was worn on all occasions by the natives...The Grafton Examiner 2 April 1932

Details: Recollections of Ministerial Work in the Diocese of Newcastle by Rev. Boodle.....My first attempt was to learn the language; but it was not very successful. I found one of the survivors of the Merton tribe, King Jerry; who, from intercourse with the white man, had picked up a fair stockpf broken English: and I agreed with him that he should teach me, and I was to give him a dinner each time. The first lesson was short, and Jerry was well satisfied: the second time I kept him about an hour, which proved altogether too much for his patience. As we sat in the verandah be continually stopped me to ask, When you give me what you promise me. He looked wistfully towards the kitchen to see if the cook was coming; and showed every symptom of weariness.When his dinner arrived he did full justice to it; but he avoided me for the future, and I had no more teaching from King Jerry.

Date: 1850s
Place: Scone
Source: The Scone Advocate 16 November 1920
Details: Recollections of Ernest Docker - I knew King Joe and his Queen Maria very well as a child. The headquarters of the tribe were at Yarrandi or Puen Buen but they paid periodical visits to Thornthwaite, camping on the hill at the bakc of the house. I dont remember the lettering of the crescent that Joe wore but his title was prounced Cobban, or Coggong (i.e. big) Joe. They always received tribue of flour and tea and sugar and in return they would bring wild honey a gift that was not always quite appreciated, consisting as it did of a mass of honeycomb mixed with the larvae of the bees. The vessel containing it was called if I recollect aright, a coolibah and piece of bak cut from the hump of an apple tree. I was a special favourite of Cobban Joe and he used to make boomerangs for me suited for left handed throwing. His tools were a tomahawk and the blade of a broken pair of sheep shears the point of which was sharpened for use as a gouge. The blacks always carried their weapons with them. There were plenty of the mountain or myall in our neighborhood and the weeping or violet scented myall on the other side of the Liverpool Range to supply suitable timber for their boomerangs, waddies, nullah nullahs and shields. But it was always a puzzle to me where they got matieral for their spears from. They were of myall but I had never seen any myall growing in sapling form. Many years afterwards on the top of the almost inaccessible Crag of the Gins, in the Nandewar Range, I found a thicket of myall, straight and slender exactly suitable for spears. Of course there may have been similar thickets nearer at hand. I eventually lost sight of my old friend. I have been informed that he became insane and died at Satur. I can remember when a child hearing a rumour of an impending fight between the Darbrook tribe and another, I think the Warrah across the Liverpool Range and I was most anxious to be a spectator. I was bitterly disappointed when I was told that I could not be permitted. However the combat did not eventuate. One evening I came to their camp at supper time. An opossum which the hunters brought in was flung on the fire and roasted in its skin. It was then torn in pieces. the entrails, evidently considered the tit-bit fell to the lot of Cobban Joe. The other men appropriated the limbs and after most of the meat had been gnawed off the bones were passed to the women and children. The dogs did the final polishing.

Source: Sydney Mail 30 August 1902
Details: Illustrations of King Robert Fly and his wife Emily of Port Macquarie district. Robert was born on the Comboyne Mountains near the Hastings River in 1845 and was one of the oldest survivors of a tribe almost extinct known as the Bunya tribe. He was the only surviving son of Bunya Jimmy who was proud of his brass plate denoting his kingship over tribes extending from King River to Port Macquarie. Robert is passing his few femaining years with his wife at Port Macquarie mainly subsisting on charity and a little Government aid. He spent his young days on the Manning River and was a famous horsebreaker and stockman as few if any of the horses he met could unseat him provided he was free of krangi (rum). He is most trustworthy and has never been known to break his word or go back on a promise. About 20 years ago a number of strange darkies visited Port Macquarie some of them having a little money and during their spree one of the visitors tried to carry off Roberts sister Maria. Robert objected and picked up his spear and three at the culprit the spear striking fatally. Robert was arrested and sent to Sydney and after a long trial was acquitted. He returned to his old home, where he still remains. He possesses a good memory and relates ome thrilling incidents of floods that visited the manning in the early days and drowned one of his country men, the body being found high and dry in a limb of a tree after the water subsided.
