This is the where Margaret marrara (river) becomes Margaret Gorge. I'm sitting down to paint it on the rocks at the front. We call it gamba (good) camp. We want this river to stay the same but if the government dam the gorge it will change it. Lambardi is where they want to dam the river and if they do it will flood this place, it won't look like this. This is where I took my grandkids painting and told them this story. Its a good place. There's fresh water, good for swimming and fishing, you can catch big barra and catfish, good eating. I'm telling them about this story because when they grow up they might want to bring their kids and grand kids here.
