We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.

Having convinced the Board of the importance of the expedition, Tindale was given 50 pounds in advance for specimen purchase. Of the 7,651 specimens Tindale collected, 487 were ethnographic. At this time Tindale was employed by the South Australian Museum as Assistant Entomologist.
