He is known for his pioneering work on Indigenous Australians and his depictions and descriptions of their art. He also led the American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land. Mountford's written works, along with those by contemporaries, foreshadowed subsequent scholarly investigations like T. G. H. Strehlow's ''Journey to Horseshoe Bend'' (1969) and iconic late-20th-century works such as Stephen Muecke, Krim Benterrak, and Paddy Roe's ''Reading the Country: Introduction to Nomadology'' (1984). Mountford's final book, ''Nomads of the Australian Desert,'' was the subject of an important court case due to its inclusion of culturally restricted content. Early years Mountford's father Charles married Arabella Windsor and moved into the house on a block farmed by his father at Hallett on the railway line 32 km north from Burra in Sou ...

It covers the entirety of the cadastral Hundred of Coglin, with the exception of the small town of Oodla Wirra. Boundaries for the locality were created on 31 August 2000 and it was given the "long established name" of Dawson which is derived from the Government Town of Dawson whose site is located within the boundaries of the locality.
