Description : |
From the Mail, 6 August 1938. The article lists potential members of the expedition party; Dr Grenfell Price, AD Smith, CP Mountford, AC Kinnear and Frank J Fenner, providing a brief overview of their qualifications. Whilst only 23, Fenner was, according to Grenfell Price, "one of the ablest medical anthropologists in Australia" and had "more experience on native skulls than anyone else in the Commonwealth." It was to be his role to ascertain whether the skeletons found by Mount Dare Station owner Edwin Lowe were European or Aboriginal. |
