'Jacky Ryan recorded his story at Bulman in 1989. Jack Ryan emphasised that he could not think in another language, but wanted his account translated into Standard English. The second piece, with Jacky Ryan and Billy Lukenawa taking me on a journey through their country, was done at their instigation. Also recorded in 1989, it was translated by Susan Murray and Vivienne Lawrence in Darwin in 1991'. (Source: Publisher's note)
