The Ngadjonji History Display at the Malanda Environment Centre
Through the very considerable efforts of Margaret Huxley (** webmaster note: during her life,the creator and author of this Ngadjon website **)and Ngadjonji Elders Emma Johnston and Jessie Calico, among others, a collection of old photographs and other historical materials which tell something of the story of the Ngadjonji was assembled and put on public display at the Malanda Environment Centre.The exhibit was completed in July 1998. It is the basis for these web pages.
