"Surveyor Hector Munro told of a (native) group from Goondiwindi who, without approval, cut steps into a tree owned by a local leader called 'Kangaroo'According to Hector, the Dalby people, who had escorted the Goondiwindi people into the Bunya Mountains, stopped them and sent word to 'Kangaroo.' He arrived, appraised the situation and challenged (them) to a battle, at the next bunya feast." - Nils Holmer, Linguistic Survey of South-eastern Queensland, Canberra : Dept. of Linguistics, Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University, 1983., p 28
