Another one of them fearless freedom fighters who cried about genocide when the punitive parties caught up with him after his murdering a few white women and children or something?

Just a guess there ... the Noble Black would never do anything wrong.... so it's gotta be Whitey's fault, right?

Oh - I get it - he pissed off overseas and did pretty well - gold teeth you say - but his descendants must have land rights here, right?    

You know - I used to watch the ABC as first preference.... now I see ABC on a story title and I know in advance it will be utter bullshit.

Pity they couldn't relate a story correctly according to the times.

Dirrikaya was never in Indonesia .... Indonesia did not exist until after 1945.

This Aboriginal man was supposedly there in 1870.

Makkasar wasn't an Indonesian port then ... It was in Suluwesi which was part of the Dutch East Indies & prior to that under control of the Portuguese.

The Macassan sailors who frequented our northern coast are also a strong possibilty as being the ones who made the Bradshaw paintings in the Kimberly.

Whilst the possibilty of these Aboriginal people from Groote Eylandt travelling by Macassan boat into SE Asia easily believable ... this bit here is a pertinent statement.

From the article.
