Hunting for rabbits in the red tractor
$1,300.00
When I was a child, the community had a red tractor that we would take out for a ride. One day the ladies took tractor and trailer out hunting for rabbit on the old Papulankutja road west of Irrunytju. Mrs Linda Eddy was driving the tractor and all the ladies, my nannas and kids sat in the trailer. I sat up the front with Mrs Eddy. There are lots of dry creek crossing and road is very bumpy on the old Papulankutja road. On one creek crossing the trailer came off the tractor. One of the kids jumped off and ran ahead to let Mrs Eddy know. The tractor was so loud we didn’t realise the trailer had come off.
