@Phyllis Sidhe_Uaine : This one [is] quite literally from my backyard.;)

Graduation day for first Indigenous Australian to complete Archaeological PhD​

"A lot of my cousins and other family went on to do sports and trades and things and that didn't interest me. But as soon as I [heard about further study]…I just sort of set my mind toward going to uni…and I never lost sight of that goal." Dr Christopher Wilson​

Ngarrindjeri man Dr Christopher Wilson has developed new archaeological evidence of Ngarrindjeri occupation in the Lower Murray region dating back 8,500 years.

His PhD project involved a 30-kilometre-long survey of the River Murray's banks between Mypolonga and Monteith, documenting everything from what people were eating thousands of years ago to the region's complex colonial history... ABC-AU

You could say that, but more a conglomerate of different tribes around the region with similar dialects. Lad in the story's one of our own though. Part of the same family that works our farm.

British/Irish convict slang originally referencing homosexual males. Now, more of less just the female equivalent of bloke. Used like 'chick' in the states or 'bird' in England. Not many descendants of the British Penal System in my area though. We mostly just say 'gal' where I'm from.
