'Tilbaroo Station' - Page 95:
Todd couldn’t believe Ryan speared not one fish but four. After cleaning them Melinda cooked each one in a pan on the open fire. By sundown she completed cooking the fish placed them onto a plate for dinner. Melinda had never eaten yellow belly before.
‘These are tasty.’ She mentioned eating the flesh of the fish.
‘I speared them. Desi showed me how. I needed to take my hat off to stop reflection on the water scare away the fish. I like Desi. I want to learn his ways.’ Ryan kept eating.
‘Tell me. When did they move to their camp?’ Todd asked in between eating his fish.
‘Mr Meston, Aboriginal Protector, found Daisy and her family living on the Paroo River. Told them under the recent law to live on the out-skirts of Cunnamulla.’ Melinda said.
‘Where is her husband?’ Todd asked.
‘According to Daisy, went walkabout.’ Melinda replied.
‘That’s a shame because with the extension of the railway line to Cunnamulla we’ll be looking to employ fettlers to help maintain the line.’ Todd explained.
‘I’ll tell Daisy when I next catch up with her.’ Melinda finished.
Day by day at school Ryan instructed lessons with Desi to form words from the letters he put to memory. By the final weeks of school before the mid-term break Desi understood many words practiced his writing; read from books he borrowed from the library to understand the words and meaning.
‘What’re you doing on the holidays?’ Ryan asked Desi during a lunch period.
