25. 6.1962 Letter to Department of Health Darwin
Re Leprosy from Northern Territory
This office has been advised that Colin Williams, said to have
been sent to Queensland by the Northern Territory Welfare Branch,
has Acute Lepromatous Leprosy.
Arrangements are being made to return him to the Northern Territory.
11. 7.1962 From Department of Health Darwin to Health Canberra
Leprosy from the Northern Territory
No trace of Colin Williams.
Ray Walker has arrived safely and is now in East Arm Settlement.
20. 7.1962 From Department of Health Canberra to Health Brisbane
Leprosy from the Northern Territory
It appears that the boy, Ray Walker, was known here at one time as
Colin Williams. The lad was in some trouble with the Police. It is
further assumed that Ray Walker is the same lad as Sydney Walker,
born 29. 4.1947, ex Croker Island, who appears on our list.
This lad was traced to several addresses and finally to a Reformatory.
He was not examined by a Medical Officer of this Department and it
was stated that he had been examined on admission to the Reformatory
and found healthy.
31. 7.1962 From Department of Health Brisbane to Health Canberra
Re Children transferred from Northern territory to southern states
Sydney Walker was not examined by a Medical Officer of this
Department. When traced, he had been committed by a Court to
Westbrook Boys' Home. He was then known as Ray Walker. At that
time there had been riots and mass breakouts from the Home.
Consequently when we requested an opportunity to examine the boy
we were informed that the authorities would prefer no visitors
to the Home for any reason. We were assured that the boy had been
recently medically examined and was quite healthy. It was agreed
that we would be informed when he was discharged. We were not
informed and the boy was eventually picked up by State Health
Authorities under the name of Colin Williams. The State Department
of Health advised us of arrangements made to return him to the
Northern Territory, and the Commonwealth Director of Health,
Darwin, was informed.

I am writing re: Wayne Rajak aged 15 years who came down to Queensland.
We have previously notified you that he is a leprosy suspect. However
we neglected to tell you that his Right Lateral Popliteal Nerve is
larger than his Left. When we saw him last dorsiflexion of his feet
was normal. I thought you would want to review this on routine
examination.
He attends St Barnabas School, Ravenshoe, North Queensland.
