Quote

There are three Moreton Bay fig trees on the old reserve and one stands alone just a few yards from the tin shack where King Billy died. His shack was painted red and it was the last house built of government to be demolished [...] There was a fence around us, built right around the reserve and that was painted white. It went all around the six acres."
