And who was really the ghost haunting the Daley waters Pub?
A little detective work identified Sarah. Her name was Sarah Grace Jones
Sarah was born in Pine Creek in 1921. She married Maurice Conrad Fisher Thomas on 8th of September 1939 at Smith Street, Darwin, Northern Territory, She has one daughter is as far as we know still living in Queensland. Sarah lived in Archer Street, Tennant Creek, Barkly, Northern Territory, Australia in 1963.
She had divorced Maurice Conrad Fisher Thomas and had at some point remarried Louis James Pringle who died 17 August 1976 at Katherine, Northern Territory.
She has spent several of later years working at the pub. But as she got older and her life faded she spent her final years at Mataranka. On the 29th May 1987 at Mataranka, Northern Territory she passed away. She was buried on the 30th May 1987 at Mataranka Cemetery, Mataranka,
While stories abounded about the alleged ghost at Daley Waters Pub was of a murdered women called Sarah? The real Sarah was Sarah Grace Jones who spent a lot of her final working years at the pub. She died at age 66 of breast cancer. And thus the stories that involved leaving bras at the Daley waters pub was in remembrance of all the women who had died of breast cancer.
A legacy who of no doubt will have pleased Sarah so much is perhaps why she still watches over the Pub?
