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 /////?]

Some little difficulty is experienced in obtaining suitable local aboriginal names for the stations at 45m. 52chs. and 50m. 47chs. on the [Mount Morgan]-[Dawson Valley] Line ([Wowan]-[Rannes]) Section 2, and I shall esteem it a favour if you will supply me with some to choose from.

Station 50m. 47chs. Description of country, ringbarked paddocks.

I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, [R E Sexton] Engineer in Charge of Construction.
