That’s the church this one and we got out own school on station. We clean up every morning for manager and we go to school early part. When we finish school we go clean up for manager. We wash the blankets and sheet, quilt, mop the floor. [Then] we go hunting, we come back get a big mob of fish. Mum always make a big fire and cook him up on the coals. We go the creek, we wash clothes. We go swimming and we come back clean one.
