Bad link[edit]

The link to "They of the Never Never" is bad, this one works: http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/jspui/bitstream/10070/153115/1/occpaper18.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.153.170.200 (talk) 02:29, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nicholas Rothwell, in 'Forbidding treasure', Weekend Australian, 7-8 March 2015, Review, p. 8, writes:

... We of the Never Never, a text [Aeneas] Gunn himself had most likely written as a gift for her.

Is there any truth to this? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 00:32, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it is possible, but it seems unlikely. The internal evidence of the text seems to suggest quite strongly that it is the voice of a woman observing all of the events at "The Elsey" cattle station and nearby. Some good evidence would be needed to support the suggestion that her husband, Aeneas Gunn, wrote the text. Pmccawley (talk) 00:49, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
