Zingari jacket on slinking off. O , the desecration of it! Fancy my Zingari jacket! O didn’t I gallop afterAdvertisement “The disappearance of the Aboriginal has also made a change – very much for the better – in the country. It is not for me to judge, but it has ever been a mystery to me why or for what purpose these animals ever had an existence – I say animals advisedly, though in classing them with dogs, horses and animals of that character, I am doing a grievous wrong.”

We also know that during the massacre of the Wills party, their camp was looted and Wills reported his I Zingari “shirts” were stolen. The anonymous American author says the man Wills murdered was wearing an I Zingari “jacket”. There is now a furious debate evolving about whether Wills’ I Zingari coat made the trip from Victoria to Queensland, whether the terms “shirt” and “jacket” were interchangeable at the time, whether the anonymous American ever actually met Wills etc etc.
