Brisbane, 25th September 1914.
Asking for an aboriginal name for a station situated in iron bark forest country.
S i r ,
I have to advise that a suitable Aboritinal name is required for the station at 2m.69chs. on the [Munbilla]-[Mt. Edwards] Line, and I shall be glad if you will forward me two or three from which one can be chosen. The surrounding country is ironbark forest.
I may say that one name suggested is "Urara", but this is considered to be too much like "Urana", the name of a town and post office in New South Wales.
I shall be glad to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
I am, S i r, Yours faithfully, [R E Sexton] Engineer in Charge of Construction. [fe /////?]
