- Summary:
-
"Elizabeth was brought from Arnhemland to our home in Foxground as a safe haven following having broken tribal law by fraternising with someone of the wrong skin and/or refusing to marry an elder chosen for her. Her mentors were folklorist Peter Hamilton and anthropologist Annette Hamilton, later professor of anthropology at Macquarie University in western Sydney. While at Foxground, Elizabeth demonstrated her skills at making string from chewed Illawarra fig trees, making bamboo spears bound with the string, spearing birds and making intricate "cat's cradles" with the string she had made." -- Description supplied by photographer.
