Acknowledgements

This project would not have been possible without the participation and assistance of many people. In particular we would like to acknowledge the people who were interviewed:

  • Alice Thomas
  • Beryl Booth
  • Cheryl Vickery
  • Ron Johnston
  • Troy and Pam Austin
  • Kutcha Edwards
  • Alf Bamblett
  • Bev Murray
  • Carol Fraser

We would also like to acknowledge those people who were interviewed by Glenn Romanis and Megan Evans in an earlier stage of this project. These people included:

The assistance of the Aboriginal Heritage Trust in allowing access to a number of photos and documents was invaluable. We would like to thank Jim Berg and his staff for all that they did.

While Auntie Merle Jackomos did not wish to be interviewed, the contribution of her family in allowing access to Alick Jackomos' unpublished document, Remembering Aboriginal Fitzroy, greatly assisted us.

We would like to acknowledge the generosity of those members of the community who allowed us to reproduce photographs. In particular, the Jackomos family, the Aboriginal e Heritage Trust, Alice Thomas, Ron Johnson and Bev Murray.
