I recently visited the Norfolk Island Museum devoted to the Sirius wreck and was very surprised to discover that an Emu Plains stone axe head had been found amongst the salvaged Sirius wreck items - an amazing find indeed. In your opinion, is it more likely to have been from Clarke's or Waterhouse's collection? I was also intrigued to find out that Bennelong had travelled with Gidley King as his guest to Norfolk Island, and I'm looking forward to reading your book about Bennelong which I've discovered after googling your name. I wonder if you'd know if it was Bennelong who supplied the list of Aboriginal words to Reverend Henry Fulton in 1801 which was discovered in 2013 at the NSW State Library, and which included the word Yea-Worrah to mean a man from the Eora area? I've also read about Musquito who was on Norfolk Island in the early 1800s prior to being moved to Hobart around 1807 so it's possible the words came from him. I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on any of the above and would welcome an email to olney-fraser@bigpond.com.

Yes, Ralph Clarke also lost his collection so it could have been connected to him as well.
