Thaua People
The Thaua people, also spelt Thawa and Dhawa, and also referred to as Yuin (Djuin), are an Aboriginal Australian people living around the Twofold Bay area of the South Coast of New South Wales. History It is often claimed in popular literature, following a conjecture by the amateur historian Kenneth McIntyre in 1977, that the ruins of an old stone building at Bittangabee Bay represents the remains of a 16th-century Portuguese fort, testifying to the putative Portuguese priority in the discovery of Australia. For McIntyre it was a wintering place erected by Cristóvão de Mendonça as he made his imagined way back up the coast from Corio Bay. The ruin actually is what is left of a structure partially raised, but left unfinished, dating to the 1840s. The area where people speaking Thua language was recorded as around the Twofold Bay area of the South Coast of New South Wales. Twofold Bay was an important area for the whaling industry where the local Aboriginal people quick ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
