Cathy is a “camper,” the local name for the tourists who come to the Port in the summer. Both Team-man and Pickles think she is “stuck-up” because she comes from the city and goes to a private school. Blacky is infatuated with both her appearance and her wealth. Cathy is ignorant when it comes to both people in the country and to indigenous communities. In this way, she represents how Australian city people are often detached from the issues prevalent in the countryside. Blacky initially denies knowing Clarence in order to court Cathy, but as Blacky becomes aware of racial injustice, he chooses attending Dumby’s funeral over going to Cathy’s goodbye party. As a result, she dumps him, but Blacky knows he made the right decision.
