From the diary of John Brown, servant of Robert and Helenus Scott - Similarly, the journal kept by a servant of the Scott brothers who helped establish their estate at Glendon show how Aboriginal people such as Ben Davis and Mytie assisted in many of the early activities carried out on the property. Similar Aboriginal-European interactions on some other of the project estates can also be inferred to have occurred in the early 1820s.

Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition During the ..., Volume 2 By Charles Wilkes
Details:
In their walks they came across a group of several blacks (natives) seated around a small fire; they were pointed out as the remnant of the tribes which about forty years ago wandered in freedom over the plains of the Hunter and around the borders of Lake Macquarie. Their appearance was wretched in the extreme: emaciated limbs, shapeless bodies, immense heads, deep-set glaring eyes, thickly matted hair, and the whole begrimed with dirt and red- paint, gave them an aspect hardly human. The dress (if such it could be called) of the women, was a loose ragged gown, and of the men, a strip of blanket wrapped round the middle, or a pair of tattered pantaloons, which but half performed their office. Mr. Threlkeld s conveyance did not arrive, and not being able to get another, they determined to walk to Lake Macquarie, and for this purpose they resorted to the natives as guides, and by a great deal of coaxing and promises of bull (grog), their natural repugnance to make an exertion was overcome. An evidence of the pride which characterizes these natives was shown in this interview. One of them, whose sobriquet was Big-headed Blackboy, was stretched out before the fire, and no answer could be obtained from him, but a drawling repetition, in grunts of displeasure
