Sir,
In reply to your letters of the 15th, 16th and 27th instant,
I give here a few aboriginal names for Railway Stations.

310 miles - N. C. Line.

Narrawing - The Sea
Buggarn - Saltwater
Banan - The Bay

18 miles 17 chains - Crows Nest Line.

Goranga - rushes
Geengee - Green vegeration on Creek
Geerarl - Creek

5 miles 78 chains - Laidley Valley.

As far as we know the tribe of this district is extinct,
but the following general aboriginal names may supply the need.

Kullee - Fresh Water
Boogara - Kangaroo
Goomba - Ironbark
Beezie - Firestick
Woombul - Mountain.

I trust these will be of service to you.

Yours obediently,

Deputy Chief Protector of Aboriginals.

The Chief Engineer,
Queensland Railsways Department,
