"I was born on Old Ivanhoe Station. However in the 1960s, when I was 9 or 10 years old, they moved us to New Ivanhoe Station, the bank side of the river. It was our loving home that I'll never forget. This was before Kununurra was built, there were only Mainroad camps in those days. They used to dance corroborees and sit on the banks on Button Crossing and watch the roadtrains go past with bullocks on the truck going to Wyndham meatworks. Sometimes, they came past with empty trailers to get bullock from Ivanhoe
Station. I always cried for them, it made me sad. "
