The Dawn of Crime - Dja Dja Wurrung Princess Gilburnia

The Dawn of Crime by Roy Maloy

In this episode extra I talk about a story written in the Old Melbourne Gaol, by a man who was awaiting trial of his role in the Eureka Stockade, Rafaello Carboni. The story talks about a Dja Dja Wurrung Princess, named Gilburnia, who is abducted with the intention of rape. The story overlaps to a real case of a Dja Dja Wurrung woman who was actually abducted and raped in 1850. Was this the original story that inspired the oral tradition story of Gilburnia that was told to Carboni when he encountered the Dja Dja Wurrung?
