I was born here. I was only the youngest one when we left here. We weren't born in hospital, probably in the bush. I was born out bush, at old man's place here. Mum and Dad had a little place there, like a humpie, with one old lady and auntie there. We was only little then. But some other ones, like, kapurlu lived in the dormitories, the girls dormitories. Two old ladies was there and Dora, Annie Phillips and old Fanny, and Ida, four they used to look after them kids.
