DETAILS

TitleMonkeybong Creek in flood, ca. 1920sDescriptionNote - In January 1878 a Roman Catholic Priest, Father McNab induced the Government to declare a reserve of 3000 Acres for Aboriginal people. This land was along the Monkeybong Creek. The Government fed and clothed the aboriginal people. All went well until the rations ceased and then only Durundur Aboriginal people remained. Monkeybong Creek was named in the Archers time because many sheep died along its banks and the Aboriginal Shepherds in reporting it said more monkey-bong meaning more sheep had died.Dateca. 1920sPhotographerUnknownCollectorJohn Oxley Library, BrisbaneRecord typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourBlack and whiteNotesCopied by John Oxley Library, BrisbaneLocation of originalsJohn Oxley Library, Brisbane
