By this time food is likely to become scarce, or the immediate neighbourhood unclean, and a change of locality is absolutely unavoidable.

When the huts are constructed, the ground is made level within, any little stumps of bushes, or plants, stones, or other things being removed, and grass, reeds, or leaves of trees frequently gathered and spread over the bottom, to form a dry and soft bed; this and their opossum cloak constitute the greatest degree of luxury to which they aspire.

Occasionally native men, in very cold weather, are both without huts and clothing of any kind.

In this case, many small fires are made (for the natives never make a large one), by which they keep themselves warm.

I have often seen single natives sleep with a fire at their head, another at their feet, and one on either side, and as close as ever they could make them without burning themselves; indeed, sometimes within a very few inches of their bodies.
The weapons of the natives are simple and rudimental in character, but varied in their kind and make, according to the purposes for which they may be required, or the local circumstances of the district in which they are used.
