Dolly Parton’s song “The Yellow Roses” is one of my favorite songs. I used to have it on cassette back in the day, when I was young, and play the song on my tape deck. Dolly was a Country Music legend, and she was a lady too.

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.
