Aboriginal trackers were enlisted by Europeans in the years following British colonisation of Australia, to assist them in exploring the Australian landscape. The excellent tracking skills of these Aboriginal Australians were advantageous to settlers in finding food and water and locating missing persons, capturing bushrangers and dispersing other groups of Indigenous peoples.

  • Aborigines Tracker waren indigene Fährtensucher und Spurenleser Australiens, die bei den britischen Siedlern, Entdeckern und der Polizei dienten. Als die Briten 1788 nach Australien kamen, waren sie nicht in der Lage, die Landschaft, das Klima, die Spuren von Tieren zu lesen oder Pflanzen hinsichtlich ihrer Genießbarkeit zu bestimmen. Gänzlich unbekannt war den Briten, wie man Wasserstellen in der kargen Landschaft finden und sauber halten konnte. Diese Fähigkeiten waren für die traditionellen Aborigines lebenswichtig und wurden ihnen von Kindheit an beigebracht. (de)

  • Aboriginal trackers were enlisted by Europeans in the years following British colonisation of Australia, to assist them in exploring the Australian landscape. The excellent tracking skills of these Aboriginal Australians were advantageous to settlers in finding food and water and locating missing persons, capturing bushrangers and dispersing other groups of Indigenous peoples. The first recorded deployment of Aboriginal trackers by Europeans in Australia was in 1791 when Watkin Tench utilised Eora men Colbee and Balloderry to find a way to the Hawkesbury River. In 1795, an Aboriginal guide led Henry Hacking to the Cowpastures area where the lost First Fleet cattle were found. In 1802, Dharawal men Gogy, Budbury and Le Tonsure with Gandangara men Wooglemai and Bungin assisted Ensign Francis Barrallier in his explorations into the Blue Mountains. There are many other examples of explorers, squatters, military/paramilitary groups, naval missions, and police utilising Aboriginal assistance in tracking down wanted persons. For instance, in 1834, near Fremantle, Western Australia, two trackers named Mogo and Mollydobbin tracked a missing five-year-old boy for more than ten hours through rough Australian bush. Another notable event occurred in 1864 when Duff children Jane (7), Isaac (9) and Frank (4) Duff, lost for nine days in Wimmera, were found by Aboriginal tracker Dick-a-Dick. (en)
