"Lilburndale" is a distribution point for rations

Evidence suggests the Hall family property “Lilburndale” beside West Portland Road, Sackville Reach is the distribution point for rations destined for Hawkesbury Aborigines. However, the bulk of the food they receive is paid for out of their wages. The Board’s policy is that only Aborigines unable to support themselves (eg the aged, infirm or children attending school whose parents were unable to provide for them) can receive aid. (Brook, 1st edit, 15).
