Reference is made to him on page 1. He has developed into
a well-built and capable young man and will be able to
command from now on at least European award rates of
pay for stockmen. His training at Nutwood has been thor-
ough although there were difficulties in getting him
a wage to conforn with his ability.

WILLEROO and DELAMERE STATIONS
Notes
Willeroo and Delamere Stations are out-stations
of Manbulloo. The Willeroo homestead is about eighty miles
south-west of Katherine and the Delamere homestead is roughly
thirty-six miles south of Willeroo.
The staff at Willeroo are Mr R McLennan, his wife
and two children and Mr Doug Haughton who has returned to Wave
Hill Station.. Previously Mr and Mrs Jack Liddell were here but
have transferred to Helen Springs. All are Europeans.
The staff at Delamere consists of the following :
George Man Fong, a part aboriginal, head stockman
Lulu Kelly (also known as Nelson), half-caste, cook. She left
at the end of 1952 and is at present in Katherine.
David Kelly, a half caste youth, was employed to help with the
small amount of writing that was done at the homestead but he
was dismissed after a trial of a few weeks. I believe he has
returned to Darwin.
A European R McPherson was employed temporarily as a head
stockman as also was the half-caste Harry Huddleston.
To the best of my knowledge Man Fong is at present
on his own at Delamere. He is a good stockman but is
somewhat illiterate. He appears to be of Chinese
and aboriginal descent and is exempted.
Aborigines
The following is a list of aboriginals on Willeroo Station :
Name Status Occupation
Banjo Konah Married Stockman
Amy Mudjudjoo Married Unemployed
Ludy Bahloong Married Unemployed
(Ludy is the mother of Doris, wife of Bill below and of

(Treatment was given to Mary for ringworms and
to Ludy for a sore left eye. Mary was previously

of 14/10/10 in the Manbulloo books. Approval is requested
to transfer this credit in equal shares to Mary and to
a young girl Queenie Abigiggi who although the daughter
of aboriginal Praier was looked after by Lock. Mary had
a half-caste child known as Maloney who was taken to
Darwin before I came to this area. Joe's other wife Ludy
is the mother of a large family including the half-caste
Billy Harney of Manbulloo Station. Her other children

(Brinken is about 70 years of age.)
Besides the two natives mentioned above, Kaiser and
Captain, who belong to the Tjingilli tribe there is a mixture
of Wardaman, Djamindjung and Mudbara amongst the others.
The only aged and infirm at Willeroo now are the above-
mentioned Bob (70), Brinken (70) and Prairer (blind and aged).
Pumpkin would be eligible for this list when he returns
from Coolibah.
The following are the Delamere natives :

........, Jack Davidson and Lilly, the wife of Big Foot.

Topsy Gunbungaddee Married Unemployed
(Topsy is the widow of the late Ranji Singh and has a
credit in the Darwin Aboriginal Trust Account. She also
has a credit of 24/17/9 in the Manbulloo books. The
above are Wardamans.)
Tommy Jailjirri Married Stockman
Amy Dahmoot Married Domestic
(Tommy is a Jungman and his wife is a Djauan. Tommy is also
known as Tommy Birdum; he spent several years there before
the last war. He was previously married to another Amy
who died nine years ago. The latter is the mother of his
children : Rankine (18), Reggie (16), Reilly (14) and Robin.
The last-mentioned is about 9 years old. Amy Dahmoot has

an employee and about 16 years of age, Pat and
Duncan (5.11.1947)). Pat's birth is registered as 30. 6.1945.

Micky Djarbin Single Stockman
Doris Marolan Single Domestic
(Doris is the mother of the three-quarter caste Leslie

Munday Woodunga Married General
Kooringiddee Married Unemployed
(Both are Wardamans.)
Nipper Koongajung Married Stockman
Rosie Uwoninji Married Unemployed
(Nipper is Mudbara-Wardaman and Rosie is Tjingilli.)
The variety of the tribes on Delamere is I think unique.
It is surprising to find so many of the Tjingilli considering
the situation of Delamere. They seem to predominate with the
Wardamans.
The following constitute the aged and infirm on Delamere :
Pluto Ibunjabunjin has not yet been put on the list.
Judy Duckfoot Myangmung, Pluto's wife.
(These are both about 60 years of age and have
seen their best days. Pluto has a credit of
30/2/6. They would both qualify for this
classification but were not included in 1952.)
Nellie Yar-wel-ming is about 65 and is the mother
of Big Foot.
Lucy Boodbaulk is about 65 years of age.
Minnie Miamalli died 14th July 1952.
Nipper Koongajung, mentioned above as an employee
would also be eligible to be pensioned but
has not yet been classed as such.

HUMBERT RIVER STATION
Mr C N Schultz, owner
His wife and two adopted daughters reside with him.
Leslie Humbert is Schultz's ward
Since my last inspection there have been four
deaths on Humbert, all females, in September of last year.
Three aged female natives died within four days of each other,
the fourth was a comparatively young woman who died on the
3rd October last year. All the deaths were registered.
There were no births on the station since my last
inspection. A census was taken and is attached hereto. This
census does not include the two halfcaste children namely,
Rosie Gordon and Larry Johns, who have been committed to
Mr Schultz's care by the Department.
Larry's birth was registered, he having been given the surname of
Johns and the date of birth fixed as the 13th May 1945.
Leslie Humbert is now eighteen years of age.
Mankee 3/4C is the widower of female Aboriginal Flying Fox
who died some six years ago leaving an estate of 121 pounds
which was left to her by her former European husband who was
killed at Gordon Creek. Because he ia a heavy spender I do
nor recommend that this estate should be given in toto to
Mankee but should be shared by him and Flying Fox's child
Bil-Bin-Mai-Ari.

A halfcaste child was seen by me for the first
time this year and is named Josephine being the daughter of
Daisy Kun-Yu-Mi. Daisy insists that her full blood husband
is the father of Josephine and I was unable to thereby
ascertain correct paternity. The child is obviously a
halfcaste and is aged approximately three years.

GENERAL REPORT - KIMBERLEY DISTRICT - 1952
Part Aboriginal Children
Two part-aboriginal children were removed from their native
environment during the patrol. They are Bonnie Hagen and
Maurice Ryan both from Wave Hill.
A third, May Angus of Katherine was brought to Darwin at the
same time. All removals were effected amicably, the mothers
of the first two accompanying their children to Darwin. After
a period of three weeks during which time they were able to
observe the children in their new environment at the Retta
Dixon Home, the mothers voluntarily agreed to leave them and
returned to Wave Hill.

NEWRY STATION
Peel River Pastoral Company, owner
Mr J Holland, manager
Native Population
They are members of the Mari-ung tribe. The
number of children resident on Newry Station is quite
satisfying. Since my last inspection one halfcaste female
child was born and given the name of Jessie (daughter of
Pearlie Lear-Yil). At the time of my visit the family was
absent and I was unable to ascertain details of paternity
of effect registration. This will be attended to next year.
There were no deaths on Newry since my last inspection. There
are now four halfcaste children on Newry namely :
Peggy Brentlan, aged three, daughter of Dinah
Martin Moore, aged five, son of Daisy Peelgmoi
Dolly Thompson, aged three, daughter of Topsy Neenmaris
and Jessie referred to above.
I unsuccessfully attempted to induce the mother of
Martin to allow me to remove him however, I am confident
that next year this will be effected. I would have been
able to bring him had I been in the position to allow his
mother to accompany him but at the time of my patrol this
was not suitable and if the same position arises next year I
will seek approval to put them on the next aircraft.
One male native named Finnigan Run-mee aged
approximately twenty one is mentally deficient but quite
harmless. He is not employed on the station.
