Uncle Bobby's stories are told in the book " Songman " and the 2006 film Kanyini (" Connectedness ") by Melanie Hogan. See www.kanyini.com released 31 August 2006 in Australia and March 2007 in UK. Uncle Bobby is one of the most loving human beings that I have ever met. His humbleness and majesty is quite inspiring.

The wisdom is indeed in each of us if we can listen to our soul. A tear was my hallmark of recognition that my heart had indeed connected to my soul.

The Secret of Happiness - for all:-
Love and Respect, For ONEself, For Each Other, and For the Planet,
Including our shared spirit and shared humanity, inviting hope.
Is the next step to include indigenous Australia in our national flag?
