Summary
| Description |
Pastor Sir Douglas Ralph "Doug" Nicholls, KCVO, OBE, (9 December 1906 - 4 June 1988) was an Australian Aboriginal from the Yorta Yorta people of the Murray river region of New South Wales and Victoria. He was a professional athlete; a pastor and church planter with the Churches of Christ in Australia Christian movement; and a pioneering campaigner for reconciliation. He was Governor of South Australia from 1 December 1976 to 30 April 1977, when he resigned due to poor health. Gladys Naby Muriel Bux (1906-1981) was born on 21 October 1906 at Cummeragunga Aboriginal Station New South Wales near Moama in Yorta Yorta Country. Gladys was the daughter of Meera Naby Baksch or Meera Bux, a Punjab Sikh Indian merchant hawker and Alice Campbell (1875-1953), a Dja Dja Wurrung and Baraparapa woman. In the 1950’s, she established a tuckshop in a food caravan selling fresh sandwiches and pies to workers and schoolchildren near the Victorian Housing Commission’s rent office in Glenroy. She then established several opportunity shops for the poor and needy in Fitzroy and North Fitzroy. In the 1960’s she was involved in the Federal Council for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, a national body set up to raise awareness about the rights and plight of Indigenous people. She was a serious charity worker and fundraiser, often undertaking sewing projects for the needy and disadvantaged. She was very vocal about women’s rights and the underprivileged.
