I am cooking a goanna I caught for dinner and making a cup of tea out in the bush when three wild horses run past. I am with Smokey the dog and he is really happy. When I go out bush, hunting, it is when I am happiest, I have no stress and all I have is peace.

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.
