Rice worked as a Welfare Officer at the Adelaide office of the South Australian Department Aboriginal Affairs. In October 1963 he travelled to Musgrave Park to witness living conditions on the North-West Aboriginal Reserve. During his short stay, Rice travelled to Mt Davies (SA) with Patrol Officer Bob Verburgt, where he recorded parts of a Kangaroo ceremony. According to Verburgt, Rice returned to Musgrave Park and probably recorded further tapes with Tommy Dodd there.
