Birds - all the birds everywhere all the time. Because water there. Stockmans gathering the horses and two brumbies wanted to fight each other. And there were camels just watching the horses there. And the emu is going towards the waterhole, the emu just standing. The emu and the bush turkey and the little ducks floating on the water. And echidnas are walking around the bush foods. Kangaroos there too. Wild bush orange and wild passionfruit, blue tongue [lizard] and goanna. And the birds flying all over. There's water so birds always around. Take it in turns to drink.
