Extract

I am a Narungga man born on the York Peninsula of South Australia, and hail from the Aboriginal community of Point Pearce. I have a brother, John, and baby sister, Geraldine. My elder sister, Lorraine, is deceased. I attribute my success in life to the close relationship I have with my family; this has kept me culturally strong and focused on community needs as my career has developed over the years. I was proudly married to Mary for more than 30 years until she passed away in 2015, and we have two children, Peter and Lorraine. I firmly believe that being a husband and father are the most important roles I have had in life. Along with Mary I also had the privilege of providing care to our nephews and nieces from time to time when necessary.
