And then we sit down and watch TV then after make him nice and clean, or sit down outside. This house here, all the time clean. Granddauhter's house. She driving Docker River Night Patrol in afternoon and nightime. That's why vehicle there. And that two old lady, they stop at Old People's home. And that young fella said to them, 'you two want to go? We'll give you a lift to Old People's home in the Night Patrol.' Merrna, that hill in the background. Two Sister Dreaming there.That's all.
