BiographyHistory

Jukari Parker was born at Sherlock Station; her birth date was not recorded. Parker never went to school and at a young age began working with her sister and mother on Croydon Station. From Croydon, Parker went with her promised husband Richard Andrew to Mount Florence Station to live. She had a son to Richard and two years later met Herbert Parker (q.v.) at Mulga Downs Station. Parker's promised husband allowed her to leave and be with Herbert. Together they went to work at the Wittenoom Asbestos mine and had five children, including Slim Parker (q.v.). Following this, Parker and her husband continued to move from station to station for work.
