Mary Roberta Mitchell was born in 1938 at a place called Bob’s Hut, Tilbooroo Station, Eulo, Queensland, Australia. Mary is an Elder of the Mardigan Tribe.
"At one time, before Jack built the hut at Goonamurra, we lived in a tent down near the river in Eulo behind the pub. We carted the water and had an old tin tub to bath and to do the washing in. There were kero lamps, an open fire and iron bed stretchers. We never thought that it was that bad, living the way we did. "
