LANAGAN, GEORGE (1908-1995) George was involved in droving or managing cattle drovers down the Canning Stock Route for over 25 years. He was born at Warialda in New South Wales and at 14 years of age went droving with his father. In 1928 his father moved to Western Australia and settled the family in the Morawa- Mullewa district. In 1938 he married Eileen Patricia O’Connor of Wiluna and she joined George in the Kimberley area. When George was commissioned to take a mob of cattle south she joined him on the drove and became the first and only woman to ever participate in droving cattle on the Canning Stock Route. Following George’s World War 11 military service, he and Eileen managed cattle and sheep properties such as Wongawol, Wanawa, Windidda, Billiluna and Myroodah where they stayed for some 20 years before retiring to Karrinyup.

Minister for Native Welfare Sir, In conformity with Section 73 (6) of the Native Welfare Act, 1905-54, I submit herewith my report on the condition and welfare of the natives and transactions of the Depart ment for the year ended 30th June, 1957. S. G. MIDDLETON, Commissioner of Native Welfare Digitised by AIATSIS Library 2008 - www.aiatsis.gov.au/library DEPARTMENT OF NATIVE WELFARE Annual Report of the Commissioner As usual the record for the year is full of interest, not because of any spectacular Government or public achievement but rather because of the more superficial variety engendered by sensationalism and an obvious exploitation of public ignorance. It would seem from this and past experiences in similar circum stances that logic and commonsense become submerged in the average public mind when the emotions are aroused. It is also unfortunately true of our public relations system that whereas the noisy suburbanite with only a few days of contact with desert natives in their natural environment may have free and un restricted access to the various media of public expression the Civil Servant, however well qualified he may be to express opinion on the subject is seldom permitted to do so.

Billiluna Layout Plan 1
Billiluna Layout Plan 1 Background Report July 2012 Date endorsed by WAPC Amendments Amendment 1 - August 2013 Amendment 2 - October 2016 Amendment 3 - September 2020 BILLILUNA LAYOUT PLAN 1 Layout Plan 1 (LP1) was prepared in 2010/11 by the former Department of Planning (DoP). LP1 has been endorsed by the resident community (22 September 2011), the Shire of Halls Creek (17 November 2011) and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) (24 July 2012). During the period August 2013 until October 2016 the WAPC endorsed 2 amendments to LP1. The endorsed amendments are listed in Part 7 of this report. Both of the amendments were primarily map-set changes. Amendment 2 did include a simple text amendment to include reference to the ‘Billiluna Flood Study – Flood Risk Assessment’. Consequently, the background report has become out-of-date, and in August 2020 it was updated as part of Amendment 3. The Amendment 3 background report update sought to keep all relevant information, while removing and replacing out-of-date references and data. All temporal references in the background report refer to the original date of preparation, unless otherwise specified. As part of the machinery of government (MOG) process, a new department incorporating the portfolios of Planning, Lands, Heritage and Aboriginal lands and heritage was established on 1st of July 2017 with a new department title, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. Since the majority of this report was finalised before this occurrence, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will be referred to throughout the document. Other government departments mentioned throughout this document will be referred to by their department name prior to the 1st of July 2017.

Birds of the Kimberley Division, Western Australia
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM SPECIAL PUBLICATION No.ll Birds of the Kimberley Division, Western Australia by G.M. Slorr Perth 1980 World List Abbreviation: Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. ISBN 0724481389 ISSN 0083 873X Cover: A Comb-crested Jacana drawn by Gaye Roberts. Published by the Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth 6000, Western Australia. Phone 328 4411. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction 7 List of Birds .................................... .. 9 Gazetteer ................................. .. 101 Index 105 5 INTRODUCTION Serventy and Whittell's excellent Birds of Western Australia (first published in 1948) excluded the many species found in Western Australia only in the Kimberley Division. The far north of the State thus remained the last terra incognita in Australia. The present paper fills this gap by providing informa tion on the distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, movements and breeding season of Kimberley birds. Coverage is much the same as in my List of Northern Territory birds (1967, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 4), List of Queensland birds (1973, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 5) and Birds of the Northern Territory (1977, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 7). An innovation is data on clutch size. The area covered by this paper is the Kimberley Land Division (Le. that part of Western Australia north of lat. 19°30'S) and the seas and islands of the adjacent continental shelf, including specks of land, such as Ashmore Reef, that are administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. Distribution is often given in climatic as well as geographic terms by referring to the subhumid zone (mean annual rainfall 100-150 cm), semiarid zone (50-100 cm) or arid zone (less than 50 cm).

Katitjin: a Guide to Indigenous Records in the Battye Library
a guide to Indigenous records in the Battye Library compiled by Heather Campbell Compiled with the assistance of the Friends of Battye Library with funding from the Maude Sholl Bequest. 1 Friends of Battye Library Inc. Friends of Battye Library (Inc.) was inaugurated on 6 July 1981. Its aim is to assist and promote the interests of the J S Battye Library of West Australian History and the State Records Office, with particular concern for the acquisition, preservation and use of archival and documentary materials. Activities A regular newsletter is produced and meetings are held for members and guests four times each year with the annual general meeting occurring in July. Guest speakers cover many topics relevant to the Battye Library and the State Records Office, including Friends' own projects and research. Volunteers The work of the Battye Library is greatly enhanced by the contribution of Friends of Battye Library volunteers who work on assigned projects and assist in processing material according to their interests or expertise. Enquiries are welcomed from people who would like to work on specific Western Australian projects for a couple of hours or more each week. Friends’ projects Over the years, the Friends have raised money to complete many worthwhile projects. A generous bequest from Maude Sholl, who died on 28 July 1995, has also ensured that projects, such as Katitjin can be undertaken to assist with research into Western Australia’s history. With Friends’ funding, archivists, authors and experienced researchers have been employed to compile inventories of records in both government and private archives’ collections, to assess and organise collections of films in the State Film Archives, to compile several important bibliographies of Western Australian records including maps, and to organise and digitise photographic collections.

I sent copies to the three men who had helped Chud and myself most in our Canning trip: Frank Welsh, Henry Ward and, of course, Noel Kealley. In a naïve, half-hearted way I contacted a few publishers – none were interested. Back in 1983 it was in hard copy format only. Last year, Phil Bianchi of Hesperian Press, converted the hard copy to digital format for me.

REASSESSING the MISSIONS: BALGO – ITS HISTORY and CONTRIBUTION on 3 November 2004, Mark Nevill Presented an Illustrated Talk T
REASSESSING THE MISSIONS: BALGO – ITS HISTORY AND CONTRIBUTION On 3 November 2004, Mark Nevill presented an illustrated talk that covered some of the social history of Balgo. In his varied career—after living in Wyndham and Derby as a teenager in the early 1960s—Mark commenced professional life as a government teacher at Balgo. He later became a geologist before being elected MLC for the Mining and Pastoral Region; a position he held for 18 years. He is in a unique position of having seen Balgo both in the Mission days and subsequently, having visited regularly since teaching there. First, Mark told us about the history of Balgo Mission. In 1928, the Pallotines, represented by Father Droste (who built the famous Beagle Bay Church) and Fr Raible, took over the Kimberley Vicariate from the Trappists who had established Beagle Bay and Lombadina. The Pallotines—the Society of Catholic Apostolate, was founded by Italian priest Vincent Palloti and the German Branch subsequently blossomed under Bismark and operated in the Cameroon before being displaced by the French. Fathers Droste and Raible came from the Cameroon. The last German Pallotine in the Kimberley— Father Lorenz—has just retired some 75 years after their arrival. Fr Raible travelled the Kimberley by horseback and camel and became concerned at the plight of the Aborigines, particularly in the East Kimberley. Leprosy and yaws were widespread. A Royal Commission into Aborigines in 1933 drew attention to the problem of leprosy. In 1934, because the Pallotines were looking for a mission base to establish contact with the Aborigines in the inland, they bought Rockhole Station for £1400.
