In fact, it has taken the Richmond forward all of his 24 years to truly arrive at this tiny Aboriginal settlement.

Great read and happy to hear Titch is finding out more about his heritage and extended family - take a note from Bachar and get them signed up Shane

One article does more to highlight Aboriginal culture than a football game. Really glad this article was written, sad the game didn't get more airtime.

Great article and very happy for Titch.
