Talk by Donald Thomson, Research Fellow in the University of Melbourne
In his second talk on anthropological field-work among the aborigines in the Northern Territory of Australia, Dr. Thomson describes his exploration of the Arafura Swamp - an inland basin hidden in an uncharted part of the Territory - and gives an account of the culture of a tree-dwelling people hitherto unknown in Australia.
