Aborigines to get SA station Everard Park
ADELAIDE Tuesday Everard Park station will be signed over to the Commonwealth Government for use by Aborigines. Mr Byron McLachlan said the Government would buy it from him at cost price, with 2,356 acres forming a controversial case after his family already controlled Granite Downs and Kenmore Park nearby. Canberra sources said the Commonwealth planned to pay about 190,000 for the lease and 140,000 for stock and improvements, as ministerial committee decisions followed a policy to acquire properties off reserves for Aborigines economic and social purposes.
