Mareeba
District 1914
Little
native Pgymy
In 1914, farms
in the Mareeba district, inland from Cairns were having frequent pygmy
raids.
On one occasion
a very frightened male, loaded with vegetables he had picked nearby,
was cornered in a stockyard by a rifle-brandishing farmer, when the
little native, had tried to sneak through the farm in the early morning
light.
After calling
to his family to have a good look at the terrified man the farmer let
his prisoner escape.
