Aboriginal knowledge and footprints in ancestral lore
A Daity Telegraph style essay by David Unispon discusses Aboriginal knowledge from South Australia. It highlights observation skills, footprints as a science, tribal differentiation, and legends linking tribes from the north-west to Lake Alexandrina, naming Parouigadekul and Yarraldde-Kull. It notes seasonal rites and star lore in a reflective, portrait-like piece.

Profitable Lease Sought for Murwillumbah School of Arts Pictures
At a special meeting of Murwillumbah School of Arts members the committee was authorized to lease the pictures to Mr T M Kennedy for five years. The report shows 10 years of operation with improvements since 1917, but recent months posted losses and rising costs. Estimated revenue from leasing includes subscriptions, billiard room revenue, rent from offices and halls, totaling about £1150, with expenses around £700, yielding a net of £450 to £500. The project aims to avoid debt, retain funds for books, and allow purchase of further materials.

TEO Noted Text Fragments From Ancient Native Customs
Fragmentary OCR notes mention race purity and tribal laws, contrasting with white influence and moral decline. The text references native customs, social contact with outsiders, and deterioration tied to external forces. No clear event, date, or identifiable people are present.
Contested Issues Highlight Wars and Personal Tragedy in Fragmented Text
A garbled archival page merges topics on infant care and animal breeding with a tale of a violent marriage and pension theft. It mentions parliamentary debate on public health and population, a cruelty case, and a seizure of counterfeit shaving brushes from China.
