In Condah, Digger goes eeling with his cousins. 

Digger recalls the time when Dad told off a white man who had a go at Digger and the other Aboriginal children. 

Quotes:
Dad to the white man: ''Only a  weak man hides behind colour, mate.'
Dad to Digger: That bloke thought he was more equal than everyone else.'
'It all comes from one colour people thinking that thgey are above another colour people.'
