Thompson Square Windsor Aboriginal Connections Oral History

Thompson Square Windsor Aboriginal Connections Oral History
Thomas Watling’s early 1790s depiction of Karrada (Carradah) ‘who exchanged names with Captain Ball.’ The notation on the back of the portrait says that he was a Boo-roo-bee-rungal. Which indicates that he was from Windsor-South Creek area, rather than Cammeraygal, as has been claimed.
