History
Elsie Roughsey (Labumore), of Lardil descent, was born on Mornington Island in Queensland. She was taken from her parents and placed in the local mission school at the age of eight. When the missionaries were evacuated during the war, she returned to her family and lived in the bush learning Lardil customs. In 1946 Elsie married Dick Roughsey. In 1984 she published her autobiography An Aboriginal mother tells of the old and the new. -- excerpted from the Australian Women's Register
