註釋

In far northeastern Australia lies Barrow Point, a now deserted promontory that once was the homeland of several groups of seminomadic Aborigines. Central to the lives and culture of the Barrow Point people was a series of myths about Old Man Fog, a wandering trickster-hero whose adventures created the physical landmarks and moral boundaries of their world. But as the early decades of the 20th century brought the full force of European colonization to the region, the stories of Fog receded into the fragmented memories of a diminishing, increasingly dispersed Aboriginal population.
