This item consists of five black and white photographic prints of 'Wongkonguru' and 'Yarliyanda' Australian Aboriginal people. The photographs were taken in December 1931 during Finlayson's expedition to the Diamantina region in far north-east South Australia in search of the Desert Rat-Kangaroo (Caloprymnus campestris). Finlayson's diaries indicate that the Australian Aboriginal people depicted in this group of photographs were residing and working at the camp of Lou Reese from Appamunna Station. Reese had sent Finlayson a skin and skull of the Caloprymnus campestris in September 1931. Each of the following print is annotated with a Negative number but the Negatives are not held by the South Australian Museum:
