- Artwork story
- "Rabbiting on Gerard and of Gerard Mission was one way of getting food even at night by spotlighting. But now the white man has taken over our land and we don't have no where to go for hunting. Where in our early year's we were happy we would walk for mile's but now since we are living on white man's food has made us Aboriginals lazy. The only thing we can do now is dream about our past life and happy hunting days for bush food"
