Summary
Francis Henry (Slim) Bauer, MA Calif PhD ANU, joined the staff of the University College of Townsville as a lecturer in geography in 1962. The materials in this collection relate to work done for CSIRO in the 1950s on aspects of the history of white settlement in northern and central Australia. Much of this work was done during a long field season in the winter of 1956. A map of the area covered in that field trip is attached.
