PHA members might also be interested in the talk on the history and commemoration of Yarri and Jacky Jacky at Gundagai, as well as Fred Cahir’s talk on Aboriginal ‘heroes’ in bark canoes. The efforts to recognise Yarri and Jacky Jacky with a posthumous bravery award can be supported here; https://www.change.org/p/australian-government-yarri-jacky-jacky-bravery-nomination
The story of Yarri and Jacky Jacky, as well as the story of the long wait for their recognition, can now be seen in the monument and interpretation on the main street of Gundagai. I thoroughly recommend stopping there next time anyone passes (instead of the dog!)- it is an inspiring monument.
