AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Mary Nurniyn tells how her father, Yiworrondo, or Jungle Dick, dammed the Roper River at the request of Elsey Station's manager, Harold Giles. This resulted in the filling of lagoons which meant some Aboriginal people were pleased with the improved fishing, whilst others downstream were not so pleased.
