‘At Rodinga for Finke Desert Race this year. They racing from Alice Springs to Finke and all the people make their little camps to watch the motorbikes and the buggies race past.

The kids on the sandhill, they was watching. They was really happy to see the motorbikes and buggies racing. And the buggy from the middle, number 487, that was Toby Price’s buggy, and he won that race! We so proud. He local man.

The man from the helicopter was taking photos and a lot of birds was flying around. They thought it was some kind of devil, like a giant eagle. Eagles belong down there. That’s their Country, and they hunt smaller birds. They thought that helicopter was some kind of devil going to hunt them. And the little birds also stopped that eagle there from flying because they were scared from eagle too. And two lizards (foreground) looking at that buggy. They thought it was monster!’
