P.A. Boulia

Re the Attached Memorandum.

Sir

In compliance with the attached Memorandum I have to advise
that I am unable to get any list of Aborignals Places here
that I could get the meanings of the names from Aboriginals.
There are places on the Western Border Fences with Aboriginals
names but I would require to meet an Aboriginal from that
quarter that would know the names of the places as a number
of the Abos in this part are of diffferent tribes and has
different Lingo,s and it seems that a Boulia bred Aborignal
would not know the name of a place of Aborignal names 100
miles away Some of the old Idemeyer Aborignals would know
the names and meanings of places of Aborignal names on the
Western Border if interviewed and Idemeyer is 80 miles from
here.
