'This story was told to me by my Aunty Helen Clifton and my father. This is a Dreaming story of Jarobuny (Water Babies). They come out from the water in the early hours of the morning while it is still dark and play on the bank in the sand. When the sun rises they return to the water and hide, leaving behind their tracks and hand prints in the sand. This dreaming place is on Bedford Downs Station where my father was born and worked on the station, this is where I grew up as a child. We call it Jarobuny.'
