Words from the Artist:
Little Sister Camp, south of The Gap, train coming, goin’ to Adelaide.
Bindi blokes, all them mob, deliverin’ that mail, little tjitji (kids), and that old man sayin’ “don’t go to road”!
My sister Barbara, sittin’ down, paintin’ camel. This me! I said “This train goin’ to Adelaide!” but she don’t see – too busy always paintin’.
This one, his daughter, she’s catching fish! All the kids sittin’ with grandfather in shade here.
This Bindi bus goin’ past Piggly’s.
And this Traeger Park Oval.
Rock Wallaby watchin’ this woman catchin’ fish.
Caravan park, this side of Little Sister, other side of river.
