in the Civilisation of Aborigines

Charles Throsby from the Cow Pastures to Bathurst – Dated 31/5/1819 [excerpt
only]
The services rendered by the two native guides, Cookoogong and Dual, and to
which much of the success of the undertaking may be ascribed, being very
meritorious, His Excellency will order a remuneration to be made to them in
clothes and bedding, and will further appoint Cookoogong Chief of the
Burrahburrah tribe, to which he belongs and over which he appears to have
considerable influence, together with the usual badge of distinction; and on
Dual, His Excellency will confer the badge of merit as a reward due to these
natives for their respective exertions and services.
