Some problems[edit]

Why use the uncommon form "Ledji-Ledji" for a language more usually known as "Latjilatji" or "Ladji Ladji"?
The phrase "the Church of England Society" is highly ambiguous, and I can't identify which society associated with that church was responsible; can you?
Why and how is the establishment of the Old Pooncarie Mission (at Pooncarie, NSW) relevant to the history of the language? Can somebody please connect the dots?
The Latjilatji lands lay almost entirely south of the Murray River (see map at Victorian Aborigines), and therefore in Victoria; so why does this article mention NSW before Victoria?
Perhaps (speculating) this means that when the Latjilatji people were forced from their lands by graziers, and shipped off to a mission somewhere out of the way, that "somewhere " was Pooncarie, a long hike away across the border in NSW? (If so, Ladji Ladji would very likely have been last spoken fluently, as the first and daily language of a group of people, in NSW rather than Victoria.)
