Item Detail
Summary
In the late 1920s missionaries Miss Mary Belshaw and Miss May McRidge travelled to visit friends on the property known as Dendaring near Quairading, W.A. Noticing that many children were not receiving an education, they started a school and religious services. Their success encouraged them to look for a place nearby to continue their mission and in the 1930s they moved to Badjaling. Aboriginal families at Badjaling included Winmar, Kickett, Yarran, Garlett, Pickett, Jacobs and others. Many family weddings took place at nearby Yoting. Included in this section is a photograph including missionary Mrs Marion Gregg (wife of Rev. John Gregg) at Irishtown near York. Also included in a photograph of Ralph Winmar shearing at the Stacey family farm Sunny Vale (at Badjaling) in the late 1970s.
