In the Arunta tribe the boys "go out with the women as they searched for vegetable food and the smaller animals," up to the first initiation ceremony. Afterwards "they begin to accompany the men in their search for larger" game. At this first initiation they change also their mode of living; "in the future they must not play with the women and girls, nor must they camp with them as they have hitherto done, but henceforth they must go to the camp of the men, which is known as the Ungunja."[807] Among the Arunta there is a "special part of the main camp where the men assemble and near to which the women may not go."[808] It must exist only when a greater number of natives are assembled,[809] for normally the people roam scattered over the country. But during these latter periods the unmarried men lead probably an existence of their own, as they cannot live with families (compare above mode of living). This information about the bachelors' camp in the Arunta is not quite clear, as we see. But all we read points to its existence. [807] Spencer and Gillen, _Nat. Tr._, pp. 215, 216. [808] See index, p. 656; the Ungunja is mentioned several times in the text, p. 557 and _passim_. [809] See Chap. V. We find the bachelors' camp (Lagerplatz der jungen Männer; tmarankintja) mentioned by the Rev. E. Strehlow, in connection with the totemic ceremonies amongst the Arunta.[810] [810] Part iii. p. 7 and _passim_. We read about the tribes near Port Darwin: "Children live with their parents until puberty, when girls become members of their husband's households, residing sometimes with him, and at other times at the parental camp."[811] I may add here, that this is the only example where matrilocal marriage is mentioned in Australia. Everywhere else we find it stated that the girl removes to her husband's camp.[812] We read farther that the boys are taken, after their initiation, "in charge by those whose duty it is to train" them. "They lived in a large wurley, which would accommodate all the boys. As a fact ... no boys between seventeen and nineteen are seen at Port Darwin."[813] Here we are told that there was one big hut in which all the boys lived; but this seems rather to be an exception.
