Matters covered include school committees, security, difficulties relating to ordering and supply of vital equipment such as books, diesel, toilet seats, clothing, and water and electricity supplies. Volume one includes instructions for creating boomerangs and damper as well as Inma (ceremonial dance and song); treatment of head lice with DDT; a 1962 stocktake of equipment for the categories of furniture, music, school use, milk, cleaning, gardening, maps, and sleeping; and descriptions of the Finke River in flood.
