circa 1962 Jervois Stn
NB The following extract is taken from a report dated 27. 9.1962. The extract was
from an earlier report in 1962.
'The camp is situated about 200 yards from Morely's
Temporary quarters at Bonya Bore on the banks of Bonya Creek.
Shelters consist of the windbreak type, there being no wurlies.
The aspect is clean and well drained. Firewood is obtainable
in abundance in and around the camp.
Mr Morely took up the Jervois block about 18 months
ago and to date has not been able to select a permanent
homestead site, as all attempts to find water in likely places
have failed. He is at present investigating new areas, one
of which may prove suitable. It is desired to obtain the
best site possible before any attempt at settlement is made.
He does not envisage employing more than a couple of native
station hands; however, he intends to house and provide other
facilities for them when a suitable opportunity presents itself.
Dry rations are supplied to employees and their
dependents as required. There is no doubt that issues are
abundant. One bullock is killed per week and meat is
supplied as required. Bush tucker is also available in
quantity as the block has had good general rain.
Clothing is issued as required to the junior
employee and station dependents. All persons I saw were
adequately dressed in good quality clothing.
Other employees purchase their own requirements.
Their wages are ample for this.
Employees are
Alfie, Stockman
Johnnie, Stockman
Parchly, S/Stockman
The wages book was in Alice Springs and not
available for inspection.'
There are two pages which give numbers of Aboriginal people
on the Station. These are carbon copies and do not show the
classifications that the original page would.
First page
4 male adults, 6 female adults, 1 male child, 4 female children
Second page
23 people
