But until you see it in real life, I saw it for the first time in Pulpunka.

There were several up there.

And they really make you stop and watch this.

So it'll be a while now.

We know that the brief of evidence needs to be served by October 30 this year.

No actual dates were set for the full coronial inquest, but a tentative date for March next year was sort of mentioned in the process, but not locked in.

So given the amount of evidence that needs to be sort of collated for this inquest, it wouldn't be surprising to see that it won't come back before the court really in its full process until early next year.

Yeah, that's right.

And the council assisting did make a point of that yesterday to say that they will continue in two separate hearings.

It's not surprising given that they were two separate incidents, even though they do stem from the same chain of events, they were two separate incidents and they're both mandatory.

Freeman is considered a death in custody or death while trying to be taken into custody.

So while it is a similar coronial inquest process, they are slightly different.

I'm not sure that the fascination that people have with this case more widely is felt the same here locally.

I think there's a bit of a frustration every time something like this happens.

It sort of brings it back to the forefront.

I spent a lot of time in Pawpunka following the incident.

I was there for days on end last August, but then I continued to go back in the months that followed and there was a real feeling that people were

just wanted to move on.

And then when Freeman was found so far away in Thalagalong, there was almost a feeling of a sense of relief that it hadn't happened in Pawpunga.

It was sort of no longer their issue, so to speak.
