No. The early European explorers of Australia did not see the need to seek permission to travel through the indigenous people's land. They had no concept that the Aborigines were the original custodians of the land. Mitchell was one of the worst, in that everything he did indicated he was out to conquer the land. Although Mitchell did respect the skills of the Aborigines, he did not respect their "ownership" or believe he needed permission to travel through their land.
