The inaction in respect to the strengthening of the existing law for safeguarding the rights of the blacks, who is practically helpless to redress his own wrongs, except by such acts of reprisal as are natural to the savage, and who is often incapable of understanding the extent of injury done to himself and his race, contrasts unpleasantly with the attempts to secure his complete subjugation... The object of authorising whipping in addition to punishment by imprisonment for cattle raiding is not likely to meet with much favour... There is something [about it]... too strongly reminiscent of the middle ages...

Taken from Geoffrey H. Manning's A Colonial Experience
March 1861 hailed the advent of three Australian crocodiles in Adelaide - stuffed, of course - that had been shot at Port Curtis. They were exhibited in King William Street in a room north of the old Beehive corner, and one of them measured 19 feet.
The adventurer - Craig by name - who exhibited them, profited considerably by his enterprise in bringing them here. Finding that acting as showman was such a paying game, our colonial Barnum was on the look-out for something fresh in the show business and, hearing or reading of petrified native in the caves of Mosquito Plains, near Naracoorte, he betook himself thither, wrapped the native up in blankets, and was transporting its petrified remains towards the border of the colony when he was caught by the police, who took charge of the body, but not the man; returned the former to its resting place in the cave and placed some iron bars around it to keep it from being plucked by other adventurers - but they didn't.
An account of this curiosity, as given in his book on the geology of South Australia, may here be entertaining:
-
The history of his coming there is a sad one. The blacks, in addition to destroying 300 sheep by throwing them down the caves and afterwards murdering Mr Brown, caused the white settlers to resolve upon being revenged. They assembled and set out with the significant motto 'Let not your right hand know what your left hand doeth'.
The natives resisted desperately and some were shot in every part of the country. One, wandering near these caves, was seen and brought to the ground by a rifle ball. Badly wounded, he managed to crawl away unobserved, and thinking that he would be sought for as long as life was in him, crept down into the lowest and darkest recess in the cavern, where he rightly judged few would follow him. There he died, uncoffined. Not a tear was shed over him, but drops of water fell upon him from the rocks above and when (a long time after) his remains were discovered the limestone had encased him in a strong shroud, which to this day preserves his remains from decay.
The strong shroud of limestone and iron bars were, however, not sufficient to protect him from the wily showman. He burst the bars, took the petrified one away again in his blankets, supped with the policeman who was after him at a wayside tavern, the swag containing the native being under the table and got away, exhibited his prize all over England, and finally sold it for £25 - so the story goes. The protective bars may still be seen in the cave.
