Koories come in all colours
I know I'm a Koori
I've learned it from my kin
But sometimes I'm questioned
On the colour of my skin.
I'm questioned on this by both
Black and White
My culture and identity are my legal right.
My Aboriginality
I've searched for so long
But the doubts of others
Make it hard to belong.
If you wouldn't make judgments
On just what you see
Then, maybe by chance
You'll see the real me.

There is a saying that sums it up-
" You have to know where you come from -to know where you are going?"

It has been a busy few months we sold our Coogee unit where we have lived for the past 30 years. My twins were only a few weeks old when we moved to Coogee from Randwick so mixed feeling but all in all it was the right decision.
6 years ago my daughters purchased a townhouse at Maroubra and my husband and I moved into that whilst Brooke and her husband Simon moved to our unit at Coogee.
They have put Maroubra on the market as we have purchased a six bedroom house at Little Bay together. David and I live upstairs in our own quarters, we have our own kitchen with 3 bedrooms which I love. One has been made into a study so I can do my scrapbooking (ha ha) and David listens to his satellite TV and uses the computer. The other spare room has been made into a kids bedroom for the grandchildren so they have their own space when we mind them or they come for a sleep over.
Simon and Brooke also have 3 bedrooms and the use of the yards so that Summer can step right out the door and have some where to play. We still have much to do as moving is such a major pain, the place is still a mess and who knows when we will get a chance to straighten it out. Working full time makes it really difficult especially when on my days of I mind the grandchildren. It is hopeless trying to attempt house cleaning or organisation with children around.
