‘People sitting round the park. Children sitting round, playing in the park. Taking children there to play, Mum and Dad.

And the car on the street and motorbike and wheelie-walker and wheelchair and the crutches. Lady walking there with crutches. She came out of hospital. She visiting family. Old lady in wheelchair pushed by family back to home. They were make shopping and now they go back home.

People knock on the doors, visiting family. Man come out of his house. Lots of puppies. Lots of other dogs. The dog chasing that man now. They be going back home now. They be eating tea now, cuppa tea, milk, sugar, bread, jam. Yummy, yummy tea.

Birds flying in the sky and duck duck on the water in the water (Finke River). People looking at duck duck.

Inside that water they got fish. They eating fish from the water.

Children playing playground. Playing trampoline, swing, mum taking kids to playground. Slippery dip, sliding down and monkey bars. They climbing on the monkey bars outside town there (lower right of painting).

Big day, all day long. Good day, every time. This is life now, Hermannsburg, Ntaria.’
