2. 3.1960 From Lake Nash Police to Alice Springs
Re native child Eric
Eric is probably 7/8 Aboriginal and 1/8 Chinese
Flora May's mother is Florrie (Barney) Andana (Possum)
Bula Alauara, ROW p58. Her father is Johnson Ah Kit, a
Queensland Aboriginal Chinese. Florrie was married to
Barney Ngwaria who died at Lake Nash last year. There
are four children to this marriage -
Doreen Margaret 12 yrs ROW p57
Alma 10 yrs ROW p53
Willie 7 yrs ROW p69
Barney or Bennie 4 years NOR
Barney is noted as Flora May's father on the Station books.
Flora May was born in Queensland and has lived all her life
on Lake Nash with the rest of the family.
When it was discovered Flora May was pregnant an attempt was
made to determine the father but to no avail. It may have
been Runnaway Billy.

26. 3.1960 From Jay Creek to Alice Springs
Re: Carinne and Yati-jara deceased
Apparently the Hospital authorities have the wrong name
in the case of Carinne. They have her on the Form of
Information as Kowinga.
According to local Wards Kowinga is still alive, residing
at Hermannsburg and is married to one Snowy.
Carinne is said to have been brought from West of Haasts
Bluff with a group of Pintubis by Pastor Albrecht when a
small girl. Particulars ate
Carinne, Panatjia, Purula, Pintubi, born 1930.
Carinne was previously married to Ted Abbott deceased.
At the time of death Carinne was, legally I am informed,
married to Arthur Williams, Ward. Unable to find Carinne
in ROW.
Yati-jara was born in the Peterman Ranges area. Particulars are
Yati-jara, Pitjantjara, born 1900. Not in ROW.

Further information of persons covered by the attached
Forms of Information of Death.
Vera Nabaljari - I consider this to be the Vera shown on
p257 of the ROW as Vera Jabaljari, Wailbri, female, born 1938.
There seems to be a discrepancy in both the Register and the FOIB
as far as the age is concerned. I think the woman was about 30 years
of age. Perusal of the master register in Darwin might further
identify this person. Her husband was Jack Jagamara aged about
50 years who resides in the Helen Springs area.
Barry Jangala - aged 2 days died 27. 1.1960. Apparently Mr Brown
omitted to supply a Form of Information of Birth. This is attached.
Mick Jabaljari - See p 34 of ROW Mick Arra Jabaljari, Wailbri,
Male, born 2890, Wauchope.
