The trucks are loaded with cattle and another truck is carrying the food. The other family bus they are going back to Tempe Downs and the other families came from Tempe Downs to a picnic. There was a little creek with water and they was doing fishing, they got some fish. And the other families on top of the little hill waving at the trucks.
They were happy to see the trucks going to Tempe Downs. All the families talking story about the country, about what they are going to do next. A few bullocks was hiding under the tree from the stockman here, cause he was chasing another bullock to catch him. Ladies picking up the bush food, other ladies making a fire waiting to cook the fish. The fish they caught from the river. Two eagles fighting together. All the little birds flying next to them.
