THanks Peter I have just had two weeks holiday and spent a couple of them in Port Macquarie. I did'nt get to the Aboriginal Council, but I did manage to get to the library and saw an aboriginal map that was produced by a land council. I think I might have come from the Biripi as it looks like they were in the area where my research sends me. I will now write to the Council and see if they can help me with anything. I also found out that the Worimi and the Biripi people are now in a town called Purfleet (i think thats how it is spelt) near Taree, so I may be able to contact some body there ....who knows.
