Full title: Kangaroo Island, South Australia: Cradle of the Colony: The Earliest History and Legends of Ultima Thule: The Island at the End of the World

Kangaroo Island Ulima Thule has two aspects to its grass-roots beginning. For some, it offered a safe haven, a sanctuary from oppression. For others, it provided a hide-out for desperate criminals and runaways from penal settlements, a stronghold for bushrangers and pirates. (Introduction)

First chapter deals with some elements of the Kangaroo Island Kartan culture and the Ngarrindjeri people of the mainland. Early contacts and subsequent settlement by whalers and sealers. Abductions of Ngarrindjeri women to Kangaroo Island. Early friendly contacts between Ngarrindjeri and Europeans became more hostile as European settlement and encroachment increased. Some Ngarrindjeri legends. (Trove)
