One of te greatest lessons I learned as a younger fella was from him.  Kumuntjai taught me that if I wanted to be treated well, I need to show that to others by treating them how I should be treated.  That lesson has served me well.

Its a simple lesson, but I think its the best one we all have. Anytime I pick my kids saying or doing something they shouldnt, I remind them how they would like it if it happened to them.

Anyway back on subject, Im another who didnt know too much about the man apart from the music until yesterday. It seems the country has lost another one of its great people, lets just hope theres someone who can jump in the shoes to take his place as the world needs people like that

I never knew him as a famous person, but as a man who would sit, have a cuppa and yarn about what had been happening in the various areas and countries (black fella areas) that we had visited.
I will never forget him, therefore I wll never lose him.

Nice words and great tribute mate.
It made me do a bit of research and I know a lot more about the man and his life than I did yesterday.

Thanks for sharing.
