Description

An Aboriginal girl, Freda Glenn, proudly displays a doll as big as herself, which was presented to her on her arrival at Spencer Street Railway Station. This little girl is one of 40 Aboriginal children evacuated from the Alice Springs area in Central Australia, who are on their way to a Church Missionary Society evacuee camp in the Blue Mountains of NSW.
