John Ellis describes his meeting with Banjo Clarke and his brother, Ray: "I met "Banjo" Clarke while visiting my sick mother in Warrnambool Base Hospital; he was recuperating after a bout of illness. I questioned him about Koori life in Warrnambool and after a lengthy discussion in which he told me he had just finished appearing in a popular TV series, he invited me to visit the family's property at Framlingham. Banjo had great delight in introducing me to a very old woman, Mary Maude Clarke, whom he claimed was the great granddaughter of Truganini. Len Clarke was somewhere on the property but I was unable to photograph him. Since that time he has become an administrator in Aboriginal affairs." .Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest itemCopyright StatusUniversity copyrightConditions of Use and ReproductionCopyright owned by University of Melbourne Archives.
