Delta <strong>Mangrove</strong> <strong>Cove</strong> Management Plan The story of Tjilbruke LMC-MCR-001-PC/RE
THE WANDERINGS OF TJIRBRUKE (extracted from Tindale, NB. 1987. The wanderings of Tjirbruke: a tale of the Kaurna people of Adelaide, Records of the SA Museum, 20:5-13.) Tjirbruki and his fellow Patpangga clansfolk were living at Tankulrawun near Rapid Bay. Tankulrawun (its name has the meaning of the Granite Place) was one of their summer camping places near Witawatang. Today Witawatang is known as Rapid Head. There came an urge among some of the members of the band assembled there including some young visitors to go north and arrange a hunt for kari (or emus). Many kari were to be seen in the ruwe clanlands of the Tandanja people at Adelaide, because that big bird was their naitji or totem. They did not kill them although they feasted on their eggs. Tjirbruki, who was a hunter skilled in kangaroo spearing did not wish to go, but his much loved nangari or sister's son, named Kulultuwi, who was visiting with him along with several companions did so wish. Kulultuwi called his mother's brother (wannu or kawannu) as did two other younger lads whom he persuaded to go along with him. Both Jurawi and Tetjawi bore the same relationship in Tjirbruki although they were by different mothers. They departed hastily. It may be assumed that their families accompanied them although the story, as told, often omits such details. Tjirbruki not wishing to take part, shifted his camp more leisurely, moving through the ruwe of the Witjarlun clan which began near Karikalinga, a name still on the map as Carrickalinga. He arrived at Wituwatangk (now known as Brighton). He and his family were welcome visitors in the clan lands of the Jatabiling at Wituwatangk whose pangkarra (hunting territory) extended northward along the coast beyond the place now known as Outer Harbor. Tjirbruki spent much of his time at Wituwatangk fishing for kurari, also called darawe (beaked salmon, Gonorhynchus greyi). He used a special nere or net, termed a darawenjeri nere, with which several persons helped in the haul. Meanwhile Kulultuwi and his companions, travelling ahead, had sought out, and quietly were driving several emus ahead of them without revealing their presence masking their moves by holding up shields of branches of eucalyptus leaves. They moved across the middle of the Mikawoma, the Adelaide plain, because they needed to keep the birds close to the coast so as to corner them at Muldang on the northern tip of the Outer Harbor Peninsula. Ancestors had made the Port River for them so that this could be done. Four male kari and four females, known as tartja, were caught up in their drive. By keeping on the coastward side of the plain, the hunters were avoiding trespass on Tandanja hunting grounds because they had not received permission to take emus there. The hunt was going well. However there was a disturbance. Near Patawiljank, now called Glenelg, some Jatabiling women were cooking herbs in their stone ovens. This caused the emus to turn away inland. Kulultuwi had to race around, going far into
