In a little settlement for aborigines not far from Sydney lives the last full-blooded person of the once-powerful Cammary Tribe. She lives in the past. The present has no lure for her, and very little interest. She has to eat and she has to sleep and she has to dress. She looks for no pleasure, but she finds pleasure in the thoughts she has of her earliest childhood, and the knowledge she has of the real South Coast aborigine. She is a princess, and she is also the sister-in-law of the man who was the last king of his group. Both groups were of the one tribe, and each group had its king. She has the true aboriginal cast of countenance, and she speaks most fluently to those who can understand or only partly understand the language of her people.
