Item Detail
Summary
In 1955, the state government sold Moola Bulla Station to Queensland pastoralist Allan Goldman for £100,000. Goldman gave the 200 Aboriginal residents of the station 24 hours to leave, and Moola Bulla sent truckloads of them to United Aborigines Mission at Fitzroy Crossing. (Wikipedia 2021). Rourke describes the inadequate conditions the over 50 school aged children lived and went to school in at Fitzroy Crossing Mission which was not prepared for the exodus from Moola Bulla.
