Topic: Peramangk


In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
  Peramangk - Hahnwiki
A splinter group of the Peramangk nation were known as the 'Merrimayanna', and lived in a semi-permanent campsite in the eastern Barossa Region.
Norman Tindale in his various interviews with Peramangk descendents recorded the names of at least 8 family groups; the Poonawatta to the west of Mt Crawford, the Tarrawatta and Yira-Ruka (Wiljani)whose worta (lands) extended to the east down as far as Mt Torrens and Mannum.
A soon to be published book ‘Peramangk culture and rock art in the Mt Lofty Ranges of SA’, written by Robin Coles covers the known history of the Peramangk and their culture, myths and legends, use of fungi and plants, and their rock art in the Mount Lofty ranges, and includes over 160 colour pictures.

 The Adelaide Review : Archives
The Peramangk exchanged tool-making quartz, possum skins and good canoe bark, for the light whippy spear-shafts of mallee brought to them by the Lake Alexandrina tribes, the Portaulun and the Jarildekald.
The Peramangk originally thought the colonists were the ghosts of their own people, but the ghosts stayed, and the Peramangk were swiftly pushed out from this prime land in the hills.
The Peramangk told the European settlers that in this part of the world there was a 12-year cycle; seven years of drought, followed by five of rain.

There was some trading between the Peramangk and the Aboriginal people from the Lake Alexandrina region, with them supplying supple whip-stick mallee spears in return for large red gum bark sheets for their canoes.

 Karra Yerta Wines - Discover - History
The Kaurna tribe (from which language we named our winery "Karra Yerta") were from the Adelaide Plains but had links to the Barossa with their mythology of how the Mt Lofty Ranges were formed.
During the cold, wet winter months when hunting and traveling were difficult, each local group was confined largely to its own territory, camping in sheltered spots and subsisting principally on small mammals and vegetable foods.
The Peramangk and Ngadjuri people suffered severe population decline from the introduction of new diseases, social displacement and alienation, poor living conditions and the effects of alcohol.

 Battunga Country
Before the arrival of Europoeans this region of the Adelaide Hills was inhabited by the Peramangk.
The area was rich in vital resources – food, water and firewood, animals for fur, stone, timber and resins for making tools, bark for huts, shields and canoes and pigments for painting.
Artifacts, scar trees and shelter paintings reveal evidence of Peramangk occupation of the Adelaide Hills region.

Showing signs of debility from the epidemics of European diseases that decimated the Aboriginal population in 1814 and 1830-35, the survivors also lost their means of support from the land that had sustained them for thousands of years.
The waterhole in the creek where the Peramangk aborigines taught their children to swim still exists, somewhat polluted.
This was the place where the first group of settlers to reach Hahndorf on 3 March 1839 fell on their knees under an enormous gum tree to give thanks to God.

They occupied the eastern scarp of the Mount Lofty Ranges covering an area approximately 250 square kilometres from Myponga north to Gawler and Angaston and south to Strathalbyn.
However, by the late 1850’s the scattered documentary sources cease to mention the Hills tribe; there is only the chronicle of a growing agricultural district.
Most of the historical information relating to the Peramangk consists of passing references in European diaries, official’s records, or personal memoirs.

It was only twenty years after the Krinkes arrived that the last of the original inhabitants, the Peramangk disappeared.
His compatriot, Charles Sturt, was well recorded in paintings, but of Barker, there appears to be no known image.
I picture him sitting on the ground somewhere, sharing stories with the Ngarrindjerri, who mistook him for an enemy, and with the Peramangk, whose mountain was taken in his name.

 One Tree Hill Sketchbook
Over a century and a half ago the land division began with the British colonists as they quickly usurped the traditional tribal lands of the Kaurna Plains and Peramangk Aboriginals who had hunted and gathered in the dry sclerophyl forests, temperate woodlands, heathlands and grasslands of the area for possibly thousands of years.
In a very short span of time, the area was divided up by the Government surveyors into workmen's blocks and special surveys and was sold to would-be immigrants in England, usually sight unseen, with glowing reports of fortunes to be made in the exciting new colony.
Large hollow trees were used for shelter by the Peramangk people.

South Australia, in particular, was part of a popular dream to establish an ideal community grounded in ‘Christian economics’.
When they arrived my great-grandparents did not know that the local Kaurna of Adelaide or the Peramangk of the Barossa Valley had been excluded from this planned community.
Nor did they discern, apparently, that this land of opportunity would soon become a land of oppression for these local inhabitants.

The gnarled old river redgum, estimated to be approximately 500 years old is characteristic of its kind with its base split wide open.
The Indigenous Peramangk people used the bases of the old split gum trees for shelter 'home' sites rather than build wurlies, as there were so many old river redgums growing in the fertile valleys to choose from.
In 1855 German pioneer settler Friedrich Herbig arrived in the area then known as Black Springs, (derived from George Fife Angas' 'Springs Dairy' nearby) and made his home in the burnt out hollow.

Kaurna, the Peramangk, the Ngadjuri, the Narranga, the Adnyamathanah, the Nauo and the Nukunu.
The Peramangk people were certainly physically more robust than their cousins on the plain but this was more to do with their intermarriage with the people on the far side of the hills than with being primitve neanderthals.
Thus the Peramangk people were worthy of fear and respect and became those loathsome giants the Pootpotberrie.
