Goona Cart at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement c1920
1921 — A sanitary service is created to collect and dispose of the waste. The service is became known as the Goona Cart.
A drum, collected from the toilet, is loaded onto the Goona cart and taken to the sanitary depot, located near the cemetery, and emptied into the Goona pits. The empty drums are washed in disinfectant and re-tarred for re-use.
With a policy of nobody being idle, youths are formed into groups known as Beetle gangs. Their role is to perform the menial tasks around the settlement, to pick up rubbish and keep it tidy. On ration day, they dispense the rations to the camp people.
