Queensland Railways Chief Engineer's Office Brisbane 18th April, 1913.
Sir, I beg to advise that some difficulty has taken place in selecting a [for] suitable name for a watering station at 18m.17c. on the Crows Nest Line. There is a creek in the immediate vicinity containing a luxuriant growth of water cress, and it occurs to me that the Aboriginal name for water cress, reeds and rushes, might prove suitable. I shall be glad to hear if you can furnish me with such. I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, [N] G Bell Chief Engineer. [signature] The Chief Protector of Aboriginals, William Street, Brisbane.
