Sydney Parkinson, a young artist employed on the ship, wrote in his journal that local men made threatening gestures with spears and yelled the words "warra warra wai."sorry, but how the hell would she know what they said ?
were News Limited there to report this ?
I know Cooky kept a diary but I can't imagine he heard that and thought, shit I better get all this down in the dairy before I forget how to spell this shit
