Ngadlu tampinthi ngadlu Kaurna Miyurna yartangka. Munaintya puru purruna ngadlu-itya. Munaintyanangku yalaka tarrkarriana tuntarri.
We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.
Douglas Seaton was a sign writer who grew up and lived in Cairns, Queensland. One of his main interests was studing Aboriginal culture, specifically the Tjapukai.
He was known within the community as a gentle man, well respected and had a wealth of knowledge about the Tjapukai people.
At age 65 both Seaton and his wifes eyesight had deteriorated and they sold their home and posessions and moved to Brisbane into a masonic old-folks home. Not long there they realised it was too soon and decided to go to Cooktown to think things through. They then moved back to Cairns and built a new house. Seaton's wife died 4-5 years later and with a broken heart Seaton followed within a few months after.
They did not have any children.
