Gudjal.

They’ve done what their ancestors had done millenniums before them.

Uncontested and unmolested by neighbors and invaders.

Why should their young have any thought of change or that of reneging upon their social and cultural responsibilities?

As far as they were concerned they were going to follow in the footsteps of their grandparents and parents.

Customs had to be adhered too, caring for country, waterholes to clean, burning off and the retouching of ocher on galleries. 

With each campsite came new teaching to the young and new members to the clan.

Contact with neighbor for mutual ceremonies was established.

In that they knew deep within that they too were to leave this world as did their predecessors did.  

They knew their spirits would join their ancestors among the stars with the creator beings.

Yet in the unique existence that they had established, their demise paralleled this cycle of change and constant movement.

They knew not of the failings of the heart.

The Gudjalbura Man.

Hoser, R. T. 2023. Two new species and thirteen new subspecies within the Australian Skink genus Eremiascincus Greer, 1979. Australasian Journal of Herpetology 66:47-64. Abstract is below

Two new species and thirteen new subspecies within the Australian Skink genus Eremiascincus Greer, 1979. LSIDURN:LSID:ZOOBANK.ORG:PUB:29F031C2-C81B-4A2C-9092-493F85C5BABE RAYMOND T. HOSER LSIDurn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:F9D74EB5-CFB5-49A0-8C7C-9F993B8504AE 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 19 January 2023, Accepted 19 August 2023, Published 28 August 2023. ABSTRACT It has been common knowledge among Australian herpetologists that the species diversity within the Australian skink genus Eremiascincus Greer, 1979 has been underestimated. To partially correct this situation, obviously divergent forms are herein formally named as new species or subspecies in accordance with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al.1999). Within the E. isolepis (Boulenger, 1887) complex, fi ve species are recognized herein, being E. isolepis, E. foresti (Kinghorn, 1932) and E. harwoodi (Wells and Wellington, 1985) as well as two newly named forms. North Queensland specimens referred to the taxon are herein formally named as a new species E. gudjal sp. nov. and specimens from the Arnhem Land escarpment in the Northern Territory are formally named E. yolngu sp. nov.. In addition to this, within each of E. isolepis and E. foresti a new subspecies is formally named for the fi rst time being E. isolepis jinigudera subsp. nov. and E. foresti martu subsp. nov.. The species E. musivus, Mecke, Doughty and Donnellan, 2009 is also formally divided into two subspecies, with the north eastern population being of the newly named and divergent form, being E. musivus oculorum subsp. nov.. The species E. pallida (Günther, 1875) is split into two divergent subspecies, with the south-western form formally named for the fi rst time as E. pallida fl avescentibus subsp. nov.. The northern outlier population of E. intermedia (Sternfeld, 1919) from the mid-north of the Northern Territory around the upper reaches of the Roper River system, which has a consistently higher number of body bands is formally named as the subspecies E. intermedia yungman subsp. nov.. E. richardsonii (Gray, 1845) is divided into ten morphologically divergent subspecies, including the nominate form and the resurrected “Hinulia ambigua De Vis, 1888” as one of them and eight newly named forms being, E. richardsonii djaru subsp. nov., E. richardsonii yindjibarndi subsp. nov., E. richardsonii nyiyarparli subsp. nov., E. richardsonii baiyungu subsp. nov., E. richardsonii ngaanyatjarra subsp. nov., E. richardsonii neglectas subsp. nov., E. richardsonii pindiini subsp. nov. and E. richardsonii wiradjuri subsp. nov.. The basis of the taxonomic actions has been a thorough review of all previously published relevant literature, including molecular data that indicates divergent lineages as well as inspection of relevant specimens of the putative taxa. Each newly named form appears to have been allopatrically separated from their nearest relatives by barriers formed from differing habitat, sometimes combined with the impact of closely related and competing species, in particular others within Eremiascincus.

A few days in Charters Towers on Gudjal Country where I mat Kenny Kennedy a traditional owner, shot my Tonbak from Iran 🇮🇷 and traded with the local cutting board maker Peter Misfud who sells his creations from his car door, in between playing the Didjeribone Showin in 3 schools for over 500 kids & teachers.
