  Early ethnographers and missionaries recorded Aboriginal languages and oral
traditions across Australia. Their general lack of astronomical training
resulted in misidentifications, transcription errors, and omissions in these
records. Additionally, many of these early records are fragmented. In western
Victoria and southeast South Australia, many astronomical traditions were
recorded, but curiously, some of the brightest stars in the sky were omitted.
Scholars claimed these stars did not feature in Aboriginal traditions. This
under-representation continues to be repeated in the literature, but current
research shows that some of these stars may in fact feature in Aboriginal
traditions and could be seasonal calendar markers. This paper uses established
techniques in cultural astronomy to identify seasonal stars in the traditions
of the Kaurna Aboriginal people of the Adelaide Plains, South Australia.
