On the 2nd Day of January 1983 I was sent to a juvenile detention home in the bush. Wallace Rockhole 120Km’s west of Alice Springs. Only being there for about 2 hours, I went for a walk, for this was the only free time I’d ever have. I saw a pretty red fairy wren bird, then I saw a yellow bird. Then I saw a bluet blue (dark & light). I could not believe my eyes. This was not normal, the birds led by the red one kept flying further into the bush. I followed, amazed at this beautiful sight. For after learning that I was in the company of a Kadaitja Man. I realised it’s not everyday anyone sees three pretty fairy wrens. Red, yellow and double blue. No, this Kadaitja man was leading me away. He checked me right out and I didn’t, couldn’t, even see him once, yet he made me see the three pretty birds. This experience I shall never forget, for as long as I live. Truly the dreamtime is still alive. Cameron Ross Kemarre. January 2nd 2011
