e G6 (S31Å33’17.8”; E28Å12’49.6”) comprises of the remains of a fairly large, approximate 10m in
diameter rectangular stock enclosure, the demarcations of which is characterized by aloes rather than
wall remains, and may thus have been originally constructed from pole rather than stone. The remains of
4 associated huts were found, all located towards the north and north-east of the stock enclosure. Hut
remains are identifiable as overgrown mounds. Thick vegetation hampered further identification of site
features, but associated middens may reasonably be expected. In the lack of an identified cemetery or
burial area both the stock enclosure and middens, as a norm situated, intersecting residential areas may
prove to be particularly sensitive to possible human remains. A single surface artefact, an old bottle, may
be indicative of an early 1900’s date to the site. Locals believe that the site used to belong to a family
Handana, who ran the cattle outpost associated with the mission church. The Handana family does not
form part of the local community, but it was reported that some members of the Handana family still
visited from time to time after the area was primarily settled by the current community. An old man from
a nearby homestead commented that the last Handana visit to the area was more than 40 years ago.
