Facts about
There are several words or terms associated with Aboriginals used in the film - lubra (meaning woman or girl), coroboree (ceremony), didgeridoo (a musical instrument), walkabout (short period of nomadic bushlife undertaken by Aboriginals) and piccaninny (baby or child).
Two terms are used indicating Aboriginal spells or magic rituals - 'sing him to death' and 'point bone at me'. These were rituals used by Aboriginals to rid themselves of an enemy. No actual physical harm is done to the enemy who may die from stress, fear, or the power of suggestion.
Jedda is said to 'grow like Topsy'. This term comes from the book, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' by Harriet Beecher-Stowe, in which there is a character called Topsy, a little girl.
