My grandfather is the one hiding in the cave with his little dog, that little dog doesn’t bark. The police are looking for him because he killed a white bloke. This is near Napperby Station. They didn’t find my grandfather. Not until he was an old man, they found him making spears, but by that time he was too old, he didn’t go to jail. He was an old man, he passed away.
