Road train
“I was born on Old Ivanhoe StaƟon. However in the 1960s, when I was 9 or 10 years old, they moved us to New Ivanhoe StaƟon, the
bank side of the river. It was our loving home that I’ll never forget.This was before Kununurra was built, there were only Mainroad
camps in those days. They used to dance corroborees and sit on the banks on BuƩon Crossing and watch the roadtrains go past with
bullocks on the truck going to Wyndham meatworks. SomeƟmes, they came past with empty trailers to get bullock from Ivanhoe
StaƟon. I always cried for them, it made me sad. “
