As JTHB outlines, Christina carried Theo at his christening. Later, when the party left Hermannsburg in 1922, she told TGH, 'Don't forget that I am also one of your mothers...'. This recollection would become integral to the manner in which Strehlow constructed his identity for his readership.

TGH met with Christina again in 1935 when he visited Hermannsburg for the first time (check) since leaving in 1922. Strehlow recorded the meeting in his Field Diary.

March 10: [Marianne and Christina come to see him] '...they had not forgotten my mother nor had anyone else. They told me of some of the people who had died recently: the people at Hgb. had always been well and healthy while my father was here; since his death the people were always sick, and so many had died, and often the doctors did not know what was wrong with them, and they were sad because their numbers had decreased so suddenly' (3).

March 14: 'Nathanael and the others pleaded with me to come back and settle at Hgb. Had I not grown up there amongst them - eaten the same meats and vegetables and food plants as they had; they all wanted me to come back' (5).
