And I know I heard him when he was speaking to a group of us last week talking about Kumanjai Little Baby.

But Little Baby is how he describes this little one.

And he says, you know, I love my little granddaughter.

I love that little baby.

And there's nothing more I can do right now than say thank you to everybody who's cared for her, everybody who stepped out there, everybody who wanted to help.

And now all I can do is cry.

And I think that's what he's reminding us to do.

It's okay to cry.

Look, I think we've heard that very strongly, that the incredible unity that was shown.

And those of us that have lived in Alice Springs all our lives know this.

We know that that is the story of Alice Springs.

You know, that is our home and we have lived there forever.

You know, people like my family, traditional owners, we've lived there for generations upon generations.

And it has always been famous for coming together together.

And I think a lot of what the locals are saying is, wouldn't this be nice if this is what we return to?

The personality that we have always been famous for, a personality that is often overridden by...

Flashpoints in time and stories that are not told by us, even the story of Kumanjai Little Baby, how many of the stories that listeners might be listening to were actually told by the spokesman himself, Mr Granat?

Alice Springs is an amazing place.

And, you know, I don't think I'm biased.

I am a traditional owner.
