Australian Aboriginal Tracking, Water Finding and Smoke Signaling

Magarey was a South Australian explorer with a keen interest in Aboriginal customs.

These papers are the result of his investigations among South Australian Aboriginals and are some of the best on the subjects covered, and in the case of smoke signalling, the only detailed description available.  With the increasing movement of Australian adventurers into the bush, insights such as these of Magarey will be of use and may mean the difference between survival and death.  It is the opinion of the publisher that Magarey’s research has never received the recognition that it deserved.
