The tapes include recordings of songs and stories.Tindale wrote 'approximate outlines' for some of the songs in the pages of his field journal: 'Journal of Visit to the North West of South Australia in February 1966 by Norman B. Tindale. 1966', AA 338/1/22/2, and occassionally noted aspects of their performance. Four additional magnetic tapes relating to this item are located at AA 338/11/33.
