I grew up with those oldfellas making boomerangs
and stuff. They used to have a workshop and I was
there one day and I sat down and made a boomerang
with old Day Day. Day Day’s my uncle. And I
sat down with him and there was about two other
old blokes there and they taught me to make boomerangs
and stuff." |

Arts in the wood workshop. He has been working with
