High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Toas are small composite and painted artefacts made by members of the Diyari and collected by Lutheran Missionary Johann Reuther at the Killalpaninna Mission in South Australia beginning in 1904. Reuther claimed they were use as 'signposts' on vacating a camp to tell those following where they had gone. Each toas thus represented a particular place, by way of its carved shape and painted detail. In 1906 Reuther retired from the mission and sold 385 toas to the South Australlian Museum (images of toas) for 400. They probably have more in common with 'marker pegs' than message sticks.
