Description:Explanation of conversation on tape 457/1; Attempt at stories, meaning of place names. [Tape no. 204 recorded by Barry Blake at Boulia in 1975. The elicitation language is Pitta Pitta, with translation and discussion in English. Barry Blake is talking with Nora Jacks and they are continuing with explanations of conversations between Nora Jacks and Ivy Nardu recorded in 1973 and 1974 by Gavan Breen. In the Breen recording (which can be heard being played in the background on this recording), Ivy and Nora are discussing a girl who doesn't want to go to school and is fighting with someone, possibly Ivy. The discussion about this story continues until 28mins into the recording. From 28:00 onwards, the elicitor is asking the speaker about her language history.
