Five-Head" Creek; And Fish Drugging in the Pacific1901
'Five-Head' Creek; and Fish Drugging in the Pacific, written by Louis Becke in 1901, combines memoir and ethnographic observation. It recounts Becke's experiences managing a cattle run in North Queensland, Australia, detailing the challenges of drought and the beauty of the landscape, alongside interactions with local wildlife and Aboriginal communities. The second part of the book explores traditional fishing techniques, particularly the use of the 'oap' plant by Pacific islanders, contrasting these methods with modern practices. Becke's narrative offers insights into the social life and customs of the Pacific region while highlighting the adventure and nature of his surroundings.
