I was born at Wirrngaji on the South Side of Bentinck Is.This is the wind story place.I grew up on Bentinck Island hunting and fishing,looking after stone fish traps and weaving bark into rope. When we were taken away from Bentinck Is and moved to Mornington Is I cried for my homeland and was very upset for a long time. Since the outstaions were built on Bentinck Is I have been able to return to my home and live as I used to except that we wear clothes now..
