“Karlamily after the rain; nice green grass beautiful flowers, smell of the rain hitting the red dirt, I miss going back. I grew up hunting there. When the river runs that’s when the fish come, once a year, cyclone time. In the river there’s a big pool and big dead gum tree, we swing rope from there to the pool and from the rocks to the deep pool.”

I like painting, playing the drums and acoustic guitar."
