is a member, whose country lies between Tennant's and Powell's Creek,
and a considerable distance east and west of the line, seems to have
ten families or divisions regulating the intersexual relations.
One man is chief of the tribe, at whose death the position devolves on
the eldest son, unless he be not of age, when the brother of the
deceased chief acts as regent."

- Environment Australia Summary: An historical overview of the
Barkly Tableland region is presented including its discovery,
settlement and links with stock routes and service centres. The
pastoral value of the Mitchell Grass plains was recognised by the early
explorers and despite a slow start the pastoral industry established in
the area and remains the economic base. A history and documentation of
the historic sites of nine properties on
the western side of the Tableland includes Alroy Downs and Dalmore
Downs,
Anthony Lagoon, Banka Banka, Brunchilly, Eva Downs, Helen Springs,
Rockhampton
Downs and Walhallow and forms the main part of the report. Several
sites
are singled out as being worthy of further consideration. These include
the
old Bank Banka homestead, made of mud bricks and one of the earliest
buildings
on Banka Banka Station. Brunette Downs Station has had a continuous
history of settlement and development dating back to the early 1880s.
Its homestead is the oldest building in the study area that is still in
use. Three further sites on this station are also highlighted because
they relate to Corella Downs Station dating from around 1883 to 1894.
