I need some info about settlements in north coastal areas of Northern Territory (Arnhem Land and Barkly Tableland) and West Australia (Kimberley Plateau)

What exactly do you need to know? What areas were settled? Or do you need names for provinces?

[mumia]

Province names are needed, even smallest aboriginal settlements would be OK.

[Arturius]

1) Port Keats
2) Rakula
3) Darwin or Palmerston
4) Milingimbi
5) Yirrkala
6) Borraloola

[mumia]

Thank you, Arturius. By the way, provinces 1 and 2 were planned to be one province. Also I need a name for that big province between 3, 4, 5 and 6 (hilly part of central Arnhem Land), none of my maps show any settlement in 1936 there, but I suppose Australian Aborigines lived there.

[Arturius]

ok, 1) + 2) would be Port Keats. I have two maps, one from 1914 and one from 1938. There was nothing. Would Oenpelli be part of this area? I fear that not.

[Arturius]

Ah wait, there are settlements in southern Arnhem land called 'Bulman' or 'Weemol' which are part of land called 'Ngarrbun' I cannot confirm that these settlements existed before 1945, but the land name should fit.

[mumia]

OK, so maybe I'll use Bulman till I find anything better.

One suggestion to redraw provinces of Eastern Aden:





And if you have some extra time available could seperate Aden?

[mumia]

Should I add separate province for Upper Yafa? I can increase a little its size if needed. About Aden, do you mean I should make it a small coastal province in size lets say of Hong Kong province?

[Arturius]

Should I add separate province for Upper Yafa? I can increase a little its size if needed.

No, from my side Yafa is not needed. I really mean only the shape of the Eastern provinces.

About Aden, do you mean I should make it a small coastal province in size lets say of Hong Kong province?

Yes, exactly.



Btw, Aden was called ‘arsehole of the empire’, because everything went through it.
