My name is Shirley Firebrace, I am born and bred in Echuca 
which its traditional name is 'Etchuka' and a descendant of the Yorta Yorta people.
We will always be on that bus with Charlie Perkins.
We will always be knocking at the doors of mainstream services to get 
access, equity in the rights of our people. I mean, thank God 
we've had our Aboriginal agencies because if we didn't 
have them, imagine where we would be now, our numbers we 
could have been completely wiped out.
