Yardsmen at Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement c1928
Left — Jack Hayes is a yardsman at the Superintendent’s house. One of his duties is to bath the dog Fluffy. He also lights the fire under the clothes boiler each morning and carries the hot water in a kerosene tin (pictured) into the house bathroom. Thus it was so the State Governors Sir Leslie Wilson and Sir John Goodwin and Lady Goodwin were able to have hot baths when they stayed on official visits to the Settlement. Photograph taken outside Laundry.
Right — Jimmy Flourbag would answer without complaint to the unkind name bestowed on him by the white man. He is a pleasant, inoffensive old man.
