Mikhailov writes of Bungaree’s
family “Sometimes they ornament their head with bird’s bones or fish bones, or
the tail of a dog or kangaroo teeth; and sometimes they plait their hair,
smearing it with gummy sap of a plant so that it resembles rope ends. They
stain the face and body with red earth … When a youth reaches man’s estate [ie
manhood], two of his front teeth are knocked out. As for the girls, in early
youth they have two joints of the little finger of the left hand cut off”.
