WHAT DOES BLACK TRACKER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Aboriginal tracker

In the years following British settlement in Australia, aboriginal trackers or black trackers, as they became known, were enlisted by settlers to assist them in navigating their way through the Australian landscape. The trackers' hunter-gatherer lifestyle gave rise to excellent tracking skills which were advantageous to settlers in assisting them in finding food and water and locating missing persons or capturing bushrangers. The first recorded employment of the services of Aboriginal trackers in Australia was in 1834, near Fremantle, Western Australia, when two trackers named Mogo and Mollydobbin tracked a missing five-year-old boy for over ten hours through the rough Australian bush. Another notable early event occurred in 1864 when Duff children Jane, Isaac and Frank Duff, lost for nine days in Wimmera, were found by aboriginal tracker 'King Richard'.
