Reception
Greta Brereton from NME said "It's a sparse, yet incredibly moving story of Country and connection, and passing cultures on to future generations. Backed by gentle acoustic guitar, the 66-year-old Gunditjmara and Bundjalung artist lets his warm voice carry the beautiful lyrics, a testament to his status as a music icon."
