After that we still we been run away. Too much hard work that one, we run away now, we don't work, too heavy lift-im. We ran away now. Afternoon we go this way, west, we never go road we been goin' bush, travel-im bush. After dinner, we left. We go to Six Mile then, old people there with nannie goat and the chicks behind, Penelope-kayi grandfather and grandmother we been going there. We go Dougie Allen's place. They ask us where we came from. That mob ask us, ‘Why you mob running away?’ That old wulkuman been asking in Warlmanpa, asking why we ran away. I tell-im, Mrs. Ward-kayi, workin' too much. Too much work. That's why we been run away.
