The meaning of Gubba

You may be wondering what Gubba means? Well it is an Aboriginal term for a white person. the terrm Gubba was used to describe a 'white government man in the 1800's' , who were  generaly touble for the indigenous communities of Australia. The word Gubba is still used today and has a variety of associations, which I am sure you are keen to explore. The reason I chose this title for my blog is because in each country that I have lived and worked, I have been given a 'name" in new Zealand it is 'Pakeha', In England it is 'the Colonial', in Hong Kong, 'Gweilo' and now I am 'Gubba'. This is by far my favourite and though I am not associated with government, I am white/beige, in appearnce. But as you know, my dear bloggers appearnces can be decieving. I like Gubba because it has a resonance of sound and is satisfying to pronounce. Most importantly to me personaly is That Australia is the land that I am most happy to be and feel a great sense of peace. Australia is where I found true love and bore my children. So the Australian land is part of me now. Here is a interesting web site you may like to visit. http://www.creativespiritsinfo/aboriginalculture/language/
