Ngadlu tampinthi ngadlu Kaurna Miyurna yartangka. Munaintya puru purruna ngadlu-itya. Munaintyanangku yalaka tarrkarriana tuntarri.

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

'Dear Dr Tindale,

Thank you very much for lending me this most interesting diary. I read it first and the second time made notes of [illegible] interest and entomological observations for a planned history of NG entomology which I hope to write later if I live long enough.

Kindest regards

and happy hunting!
