Notes: JB: This message stick is one of the two in the in the photograph (not identifiable - not enough information in the PMH Catalogue) 19.09.2024 PK: I suspect this is actually from Yandil station in Western Australia (not Yandilm, NSW). Marking style is typical of message sticks from the Murchison region, WA.
