Captain White, Edgar R. Waite (expedition leader, Director of S. A. Museum), Mr Rolands (Manager Innamincka station) and a Mr Patterson of Tinga-tingana visited an Australian Aboriginal camp a couple of kilometres east from Innamincka, not far from Burke's grave. Eight to ten elderly men and women lived in the camp with an assortment of dogs. Many of the Aborigines were blind, crippled and diseased. The woman depicted in this photograph (and in 365/15/94) was among the blind. Note the dog resting in the shelter.
