Kelvin Kemarre Ladd – Holden HQ with no bonnet

I am driving my Holden HQ with no bonnet with my family. The Flying Doctor is landing on the air strip while the sun sets, its makes the sky black on the horizon. The dogs are not fighting they are just hanging around.

Biography:

I was born in Ali Curung,  but I call Epenarra my home.  I like country music, and stock camp paintings.  It's the life that I grew up around.  During the time I was growing up I was in a stock camp.  I used to watch the old fellas mustering and breaking in horses.   It was a great upbringing, disciplined and with strong family connections.  Hunting was the most important thing and we had to hunt to provide for our families.  There was no technology in those times.
