The State Library of New South Wales has an original copy of Vocabulary of the Woolner District Dialect, Adelaide River, Northern Territory by John W. O. Bennett (published in 1869) which it has made available online as scanned images. The book documents the vocabulary and pronunciation of Wulna in general, in addition to place names from the Adelaide River region of Norther Territory. The original copy has been annotated by Paul Foelsche, the first police inspector of Northern Territory,[3] who has added his own words to the vocabulary list, and his own corrections on pronunciation.
