"Group of Aboriginal women and their babies. Not a dying race, 1930s." Quote from book written by Ella Shepherdson, page 41: "The dying race, 1931. In the early days we used to hear s much about the dying race but the evidence clearly before our eyes was quite the contrary. Women were married soon after puberty and usually continued to have children until they were quite old. Some of the baies in this picture are now grandmothers and grandfathers."
