Foxy,

"....:aggressive and hostile attack with the intent of murder."

If that quote is correct then it is not evidence of 'intent of murder' but only evidence of the ABC's desire to sensationalize

Yes it was 1200s and east Australia seems to have Balinese Hindu contact.
Here is an intent to murder. It's the legend of Ngurunderi and the Murray-Darling rivers. The Hindu term "Parampari" means a Hindu-Buddhist line of teachers.
"Ngurunderi followed his wives as far south as Kingston. Here he met a great sourcer, Parampari. The two men fought, using weapons and magic powers, until eventually Ngurunderi won. He burnt Parampari's body in a huge fire, symbolised by granite boulders today, and turned north along the Coorong beach. Here he camped several times, digging soaks in the sand for fresh water, and fishing in the Coorong lagoon.

Ngurunderi made his way across the Murray Mouth and along the Encounter Bay coast towards Victor Harbor."

Dear Is Mise,

Actually that summation was not made by the ABC
to "sensationalise."

It was made - by Dr Michael Westaway, an expert in Aboriginal
archaeology from Griffith University. He TOLD the
ABC's catalyst program that the wounds were indicative
of an "aggressive and hostile attack with the intent
of murder," as a result of state of the art science
methods being applied to solving the mystery of this
so-called Toorale Man.

You should have read the link that I provided.

Dear Nick,

Knowing a culture's myths and legends certainly helps
towards a better understanding of events.
I envy your knowledge.

Knowledge, Foxy? It's just obsession , retirement and web bashing.
The high tech research at Griffiths Uni is now underway ( they promised to do it in July). A student will thump a pigskull with a sharp mulga blade to try to copy the skull trauma.
Anybody know how I can get 1 piece of mulga? I've put ads in papers, asked businesses, tourism and national parks. Just 1 piece 2 foot long, thank you very much, bank cheque and postage in advance.

Dear Nick,

Have you tried Googling - "Mulga wood,"
or "Mulga on ebay?"

http://www.ebay.com.au/

You could go to a reputable Aboriginal/tourist - Art/ shop
in your nearest city or town and talk to the
manager. They must have a list of suppliers that
they deal with for their wood products. Tell the manager
what you're after and see if they can help.

Also suppliers of firewood in your city or town - would
also have the contacts.
