TRACKERS
Australian aboriginals [and the South African bushman] are
acknowledged as the best trackers in the world. Their skills still
exist in our remote aboriginal settlements. So ask yourself, why
arent they being utilized throughout the country both in solving
crime and tracking and finding lost people.
In the 1950s and 60s, the Renmark police had one of the best
crime solving records in the country with the team of Sergeant
Max Jones and the famous aboriginal tracker, Jimmy James. As
well as others, including Albert Anunga, the tracker involved in
the capture of the Pine Valley Station murderer. There were very
few unsolved crimes in the Riverland during that period,
compared to now, when the public are encouraged to phone a
bank!
I have spoken to a number of serving and retired policeman from
constables to senior officers, about this matter. Some of them give
reasons why they think aboriginal trackers are not generally part
of the system. However, others , particularly country born
members, privately agree that the S.A. Police [in particular], are
worse off for not utilizing this worlds best resource. It seems that
like so many other areas of society, it is the bureaucracy who
cannot see the commonsense of these situations. And everyone
suffers accordingly. If trackers had been used in the Lindy
Chamberlain case, perhaps that whole drama could have been
averted without lives spoilt, and if a tracker had been used on the
job first thing, the Falconio case may have been quickly
wrapped up. The same goes for the numerous other cases and
particularly those concerning missing people.
Then theres the other side of the coin. If aboriginal trackers were
attached to various of our regional police stations, there would be
a number of positives. Like footballers and other aboriginal
sportspeople, they would be excellent roll models for their people.
It could also assist police in day to day dealings with aboriginal
people.
You only have to see a good tracker in action to be convinced of
this. I have seen them on a number of occasions, as have various
outback policemen, including Danny Mc Gurgan who is attached
to the Waikerie police. He spent many years stationed in South
Australias Pitjandjara lands, and has many stories relating to the
tracking abilities of these people. If anyone needs convincing, they
should read Tracks by Max Jones
But having said all this, it will probably never happen. Not
because the expertise doesnt still exist, and cant be passed on to
the next generation, despite the competing activities and
distractions of this Hi tech age. The main obstacle will be the ever
increasing rules and regulations imposed on our long suffering
society, with the excesses of occupational health and safety
leading the charge.The only way these unique and remarkable
skills could be utilized today, would be for them [the trackers] to
operate outside the system in conjunction with sympathetic
police officers with suitable aboriginal and bush experience. Then
it might work. But dont hold your breath.
Australia is supposed to be the smart country, and if we truly
were, this wonderful expertise would be ongoing, instead of
disappearing into the mirage, as part of our history.

By Sue Scheiffers
Vice President,
National Trust of South Australia
On Saturday 10 September 2016 in the Grounds
of the Old Court House Museum a display of Fire Engines,
as well as Fire Service memorabilia, and vintage firearms,
will be held.
Some will come from the collection of the National Trust
of South Australia at Burra, where they are under the care
of local National Trust members.
But the most unexpected
vehicle on display will be the
former fire Chefs Jaguar
XK120. The vehicle was
purchased for Chief Officer
(Mr J.J. Whyte) of the Fire
Brigade Board in the 1950s at
a cost of 1,650 pounds.
Questions were asked in
Parliament on whether the car was justified. Also
Councillor G. Roberts told a Burnside Council meeting that
it was a glamorous vehicle for a playboy, rather than a
dignified transport for a fire chief. He saw neither rhyme
nor reason why a super sports Jaguar should be selected for
use in the metropolitan area. However Councillor
Parkinson, a council representative on the Fire Brigades
Board, said they had selected the most suitable vehicle for
the work. Another councillor R Cooper said that he saw the
Fire Chief driving down the street in the new car. It was a
most impressive sight giving this people who saw it a
feeling of vast confidence in the fire brigade. The current
owner, Mr Robert Lofflers father purchased it when
Robert was 15 and they worked for many years to restore
it. Mr Loffler now drives it with pride.
The oldest vehicle on display will be a Model T Ford
which was commissioned in 1922. This was found in a
derelict state on a farm but was faithfully restored to
working order by the members of the Burra Branch of the
National Trust.
The 1948 Dennis was
the third appliance to
be brought to Burra in
the 1960s. It was still
kept at the local fire
station until 1982
when it was donated to
the Burra Branch.
I remember a similar Dennis being based at the Thebarton
Station when I was in Primary School. We often called in
there on the way to and from school on our bikes - Ed.

Remember when
Log on was adding wood to the fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode
Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens, they wish they were dead.
