Aboriginal Modes of Behaviour in White Australia

One day a few years ago I was on the north coast of Arnhem Land standing on a beach waiting for some Aboriginal people who had, many hours earlier it seemed, arranged to take me to their outstation to visit friends. There was a yolngu man I didn't know waiting with me; he was a missionary aviation employee going to the same place to inspect the airstrip. We complained to each other about how long we had been waiting. I suggested to him that maybe this was just the yolngu way of doing things not to hurry but to get things done in good time. He replied, "When I get there, I'm not going to do the work for them in a hurry. I'll have something to eat, then a sleep, then I'll do the work." I said, "Yes, that's the yolngu way of getting things done". But my comment was misinterpreted as sarcasm. "Well, of course," he said, "the balanda (white person's) way of doing things would be to get straight off the boat, do the work first, then rest when it was finished."
