Rockhampton Blacks; The Queenslander June 1907

“Indeed, one child from Rockhampton was much fairer in complexion, and lighter in colour of hair than the average European. Her features showed none of the characteristics of the black, and her presence in the camp compels comment.”
– The Queenslander, June 1907
