Description

The items were collected in the 1940’s by Harry Phillips at Toorale Station which is situated in outback NSW 60 km’s SSW of Bourke. Harry was a frequent visitor to Toorale which was an historic 91000 hectare sheep and cattle station before being taken over by the Federal and NSW Governments in 2008. He collected the items when flooding had
exposed them. The rivers and flood plains at Toorale attracted much wild life which would have been hunted by the Wongaibon who were the traditional land owners there.
