Biography

Deceased lived in South Australia for 3 years before moving to Western Australia. In October 1906, Allanah was fined $2, in default of which there would be two months' hard labour, for cruelty to camels by working them and putting saddles on them when they had sore backs. Apparently one camel in particular had sores on its back which were discharging pus, were full of maggots, and a very offensive odour came from them. The sores were about 6 inches across and a man could put the whole of his hand in the openings. He is buried in Plot 47, Section D of the Lawlers Cemetery.
