Biography

Jilba, a traditional Nhanda woman, was buried on the outer side of the Cemetery at the Murchison House Station in an unmarked grave. 

She was given a proper funeral and burial as the owners of the station at the time of her death thought that she deserved it. She was born, lived, worked and died on the Station.

At the time of Jilba's death and burial, Jilba had many relatives alive and well on the station.
