Description | Descendants of King Barak, the last king of the Port Phillip blacks, provided
part of a concert programme at the South Melbourne Town Hall. The concert, which was arranged by the Australian Aborigines' League, was held to raise money for the family of Mr W. Terrick, an aboriginal shearer. Terrick was killed in a road accident recently and his son, aged 10 years, later had his injured arm amputated at Prince Henry's Hospital. "Doug" Nicholls, the Fitzroy Aboriginal footballer, was another member of the concert party. About 500 persons attended the concert. |
