“They shouldn’t of taken the photo because he was sick that day. We said to Dad, you shouldn’t get your photo taken ‘cause you are sick, but they wouldn’t listen to him and they made him sit there and took his photo. But Dad said, ‘doesn’t matter we will never see it again’. And we never, this is the first time I’ve seen it. We didn’t want Tindale to take this photo, but he went ahead. They took us all down to the sawmill, and they took the photos down there” (Rose Grogan, Daughter of Harry Grogan, Kowrowa, 12 June 2012).

“My Auntie Rose Grogan, she was Rose Maytown and my mum was Doris Maytown, they were sisters. When they were taken away by the troopers from the Palmer River, Aunty Rose was in a tree and one of the troopers grabbed her and hit her in the side of the face with the butt of a rifle and she was taken to Mona Mona. My mum was shot in the right leg by the troopers of that time. So she limped her whole life.
She told me a couple of times. All the family that came with her told us the same story. But she had a limp, she had a big limp. Everybody knew about her limp from the wound that she had. She never dwelled on it. She told people, but she never dwelled on it. Rose her sister was in the tree, Mum was running, this is what she told us, she was running to save her younger brother Peter, but he was shot and their mother was shot. My grandmother, Mary Palmer was shot and killed and Peter was killed. When they took them away, they took them in different lots. The eldest ones went first, then the second group and Mum was part of the third group. Mum arrived in Yarrabah wearing just a little white singlet, she was about five years old. She was still wounded when she arrived. She had to walk from Maytown to Cooktown, that’s what she told us. Then they put them on a mission boat to Cairns. When she arrived at Yarrabah she went straight into the dormitory” (Flo Watson, daughter of Doris Choikee, Brisbane, 3 July 2012).

“Willie Goodchap he was a really nice old man, he was very quite. I never heard him raise his voice. He was just a really nice man. He was a lot older than Aunty Elsie, he was just a terrific old bloke. Tom Conlon was the same, very un-assuming, Granny Conlon used to boss him around… Oh I could tell you a lot about the old lady” (Chad Morgan. great-grandson of Annie Conlon, Brisbane, 28 June 2012).
