His childhood in Goulburn meant that he grew up with Aboriginal children as playmates, so that when he began his obsession with documenting Aboriginal life, he came to his subject with fond familiarity. Baldwin Spencer, went out of his way to discredit Mathews' work, especially after his death. He is now emerging as an important documenter of Aboriginal language & mythology'.
