The Aboriginal families of Barraba

On Sunday morning 13 March, Nandewar Historical Society members gathered at the Barraba Museum for a talk and discussion led by Brad Sutherland from Tamworth.  Brad was accompanied by his wife Debbie, granddaughter Tamara, and uncle Paul White from Manilla.

Brad and his family had a wealth of information, showing Museum members many books and records about aboriginal families that, since white settlement, have passed through and have settled in the Barraba district.

A really interesting few hours; the Museum hopes to develop a permanent display of local Aboriginal history.
