I live in Kalumburu, in the North Kimberley WA. All my family are from here. I’m a Gaambera person on my mum’s side, and on my dad and grandmother’s side I'm a Kwini person. Gaambera country is up around Truscott area; you need a plane or a car to get there. Kwini people are the Traditional Owners of the country around Kalumburu.
I live with my three kids - Melita (16), Ruby (12) and John Paul (one). I like to take the kids to play basketball - there’s a big court in Kalumburu. I love to go out fishing, and for a walk to the airport or the creek. We can’t camp at the moment because I worry about the baby crawling out to the sea! I love going out bush; I feel happy and free. I like doing pictures and artwork - it makes me feel good - but I wouldn't call myself an artist.
