| Summary: |
Aboriginal trackers were employed consistently throughout the history of the Cockburn district. They worked with police to track criminals, missing persons, and more, though they were rarely credited or even named in press reports of the crimes. This man was an unnamed tracker working on a shocking case of a boy murdered by his father in Fremantle in 1934. |
