This series contains restricted material.

This item contains field tapes relating to Norman B Tindale's trip to Haast Bluff in August 1957 as a member of the University of Adelaide's Board for Anthropological Research. In general, descriptions given below are drawn directly from Tindale's annotations on the individual magnetic tape boxes. As Tindale's field journal relating to this expedition is not held at the South Australian Museum, the descriptions given below are accompanied by an 'AS' number that refers the researcher to an entry in the S. A. Museum Speech and Sound Collections register (AA 338/12/4). The latter register was compiled by Tindale in 1964 and contains important contextual details relating to the recordings. Tindale's notebook: 'Rough notes on tape recordings at Haast Bluff, C. Aus. Aug. 1957' (338/12/1/8) should also be consulted.The Haasts Bluff recordings include:
