Biographical Notes
Fr Frank Cresp, Good and Faithful Servants: Recalling the Spirit of the Deceased Priests of the Diocese of Port Augusta and Port Pirie 1888-2008, 2008:

Said to be the only white male whom Daisy Bates invited to her camp ... formal invitation to morning tea. This could have been early in his time on the Inland Mission when she was camped at Wynbring Siding, but more likely later when she was near Streaky Bay under the care of the Thompson and Matthews families. He travelled much in the outback and always covered his tracks behind him.
