'There was a dream time story about my dad
When my dad was living with his girlfriend, she was an Aboriginal woman. It was before my dad met up with my mum. I was thinking how did my dad find this other girl in the past, maybe it was a good feeling they were living together. In the bush they would go hunting and fishing together, then one day my dad's girlfriend went missing. My dad was wondering where she might of went, she properly walked away but they couldn't ask the right question. She walked to Texas went straight across to Red Bu e, that's were she lives alone in the square cave her name is Budbarriyal.'
