Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Macassan or more correctly Makassar trepangers from the southwest corner of Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) visited the coast of northern Australia for hundreds of years to process trepang (also known as sea cucumber or "sandfish"): a marine invertebrate prized for its culinary and medicinal values in Chinese markets. These visits have left their mark on the people of Northern Australia - in language, art[1], economy and even genetics in the descendants of both Makassar and Australian ancestors that are now found on both sides of the Arafura and Banda Seas.
