LADY EXPLORER.
WEST AUSTRALIAN EXPEDITION.
Perth, Tuesday.
Mr. Grant Watson, who will take part in Cambridge Ethnological Expedition in Western Australia to be led by Mr Alfred Brown, fellow in ethnology of Trinity College, Cambridge, is now in the State awaiting Mr Brown’s arrival from London. Mr. Watson says that that the expedition will make a trip to the Murchison and Gascoyne districts, and will traverse the stock route to Peak Hill. In February next, it will start from Wiluna, and journey throught the Kimberley by Canning’s stock route. The expedition will open new fields, as far as systematic research in ethnology and geology[sic] is concerned. Mrs Daisy Bates, who recently published a book on the West Australian blacks, will probably accompany the expedition. The researches will take about 18 months.
