Boria Head, The Konkun Coast. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters

To early English navigators known as Cape Z. Lower slopes looking North East. The speargrass being cut by the women will be as succulent and sustaining for their scraggy cows as the coarse millet grown for themselves will be. A hard life and a short one, indeed for men and beast.
