My name is Harold Blair and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because after
working as a farm labourer in Queensland, I eventually earned for myself a diploma of
music from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. I had a fine tenor voice and became well
known throughout Australia as a singer. I also worked hard to foster the cause of
Aboriginal advancement.
