Description: This is a photograph of the Girls’ dormitory at the Palm Island Aboriginal Settlement. It shows a wide, single-storey building with open front verandahs. The building is set among palm trees, and there is a road bordered with white stones running in front of it. Two girls or women are walking in front of the dormitory, and a man wearing a suit is standing next to a palm tree close to the photographer.
This photograph was taken by Edward Michael Hanlon on a tour of North Queensland during his term as Queensland Home Secretary. It is part of an album that contains other images taken at Palm Island, Yarrabah, Fantome Island, and Mona Mona mission.
