Undiah, Mounted Constable Wurmbrand, Undudna, Ardahkee, Corporal Chickylia, Mounted Constable Willshire and Jack. Billy lies prostrate in front
"The Central figure is 'Chickylia' (Corporal of the Black Police) who with arm extended points out to M.C. Willshire a smoke which he perceives in the distance, marking the camp of the hostile blacks. Stripped to the waist ....Chickylia is flanked on the right by M.C. Willshire, leaning on the muzzle of a carbine, ... while on the left stands rigidly at attention Ardahkee (otherwise Dick), bushily bearded, with torso bare even of a bandolier, carbine on shoulder. Under the shadow of a wurlie on the left squats Undudna (otherwise Barrows' Creek Billy), the best shot in the native police, who clasps his carbine as if he loved and relied on it. M.C. Wurmbrand, in an attitude suggestive of fatigue, flanks the ebony Hawkeye, and 'The Mahdi' (why so called does not appear, his real name being Undiah) squats along side in a posture of steadfast attention, with his carbine between his knees. The prostrate form of 'Billy' one of the Northern trackers, lies at the Corporal's feet; and the Henbury blackboy, 'Jack', who gave his evidence so clearly in the police Court, completes the group." Port Augusta Dispatch, 24 January 1888. The following notes appear on the back of the photograph. Mounted constables, WH Willshire and Wurmbrand with native police, May 20, 1887. Mr NB Tindale suggests that these native police were unofficial and recruited by Willshire. But see "The Pioneers of the NW of South Australia" by NA Richardson, page 102, also "Observer", 1884, part 2, page 559. A reversed view with slightly different posing can be be seen at B 44610, and the same view of B 44610 (but reversed) can be seen at PRG 280/1/2/119.

Old police lock-up shed, Coober Pedy
View of the old police lock-up shed at Coober Pedy. The photographer comments on the old police lock-up, "In January 2013 I ventured into the South Australian desert to experience what it was like to live in such a hostile environment during an Australian summer. My fist stop was Coober Pedy, which is a frontier-mining town with a lot of hidden secrets. The old police lock-up was Coober Pedy's first above ground building consisting of four tin walls and a tin roof. I can't believe that anyone could have possibly existed here during the heat of summer, which regularly reaches 40 to 48 degrees. It is uncertain if the lock-up ever held criminals but it has been used as a temporary camping place, a bedroom, a morgue, and an isolation cell for a mental patient. Behind the lock-up is a dugout which at some stage was used as the residence for the local police officers.
