Belonging to those two persons. I belong to my parents, Ferdie and Ivy Bell with my ancestral connect to King Andy Lane. I was born on Hollywood Mission, Yass. We had a hard life, but happy times too. My father was a great worker. He never stopped working and bringing food home to put on the table. As children we would pick up wool from dead sheep in the paddocks of surrounding properties and sell it to the wool sheds in Yass.

Djinindjinindiri – Sparkling – throwing out little rays of light2018
My Mum and Dad would hide us from the welfare and police. They often told us to run and hide where we could. Sometimes it would be down by the creek. Hiding in the bushes. Sometimes I fell asleep and would wake to see the sun reflecting off the water. Little rays of light sparkling on the water as the fish were swimming through the currents.

Ngarambanda Yaban Corroboree on Country2018
My grandfather was a living legend in Yass – my father’s father. He was known as Piggy Bell. Old Pa and Daddy had done a corroboree up the main street with other Ngunnawal men for Queen Victoria’s birthday. They would all sneak off at night to do corrobborees as it wasn’t allowed. The police would lock them up.

Search. A dreaming story of searching. A solo journey of living life ‘My Way’. Many cracks and yet I have more than survived, I have prevailed racism, adversity, hunger, being stolen and many other challenges. A fiery and passionate life journey that was ultimately fulfilled with love.
