We lived half-way bush and half-way station. Working for station life and living bush. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen I was 15 or 16, I was working at Waite River Station. Using axes and making yards for nanny goats. Those old yards are still there from when I was young. I’ve looked. Must be there since 19 something. 1973 maybe. Everywhere I was working. Up the north along the soakage’s. Across the stations. Branding and mustering cattle. I’ve always worked this way. Using hands and doing my life. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor footy. First one we played was at the station. A long time ago. We didn’t know about the umpire or nothing. No umpire was there to blow a whistle. We didn’t’ know who the umpire was or what he was saying. Those rules. Those white people schooled us in footy. Old people must have bought a T.V in town. Before that we just had bush football. Then I saw those players later, like Adam Goodes, an aboriginal man playing on T.V. in new times. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI was sitting here, about 2000, and my partner was doing painting. I was watching her and I thought about an idea. I was sitting there no carving, then about 2004, I made one football man. A Collingwood player. I showed him to Marc and he said you should make more of this. A whole team. So, I’m keeping on making them.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Dinny Kunoth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brunswick Street Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51507599212842,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/files\/1A7A5631_copy.jpg?v=1778225066","url":"https:\/\/brunswickstreetgallery.com.au\/products\/dinny-kemarr-kunoth-cockatoo-621-25","provider":"Brunswick Street Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
