EVA VALLEY RODEO
English Translation
1.	One day, we went to Eva Valley station for a rodeo. We went in a big community truck from Bamyili.
2.	Eva Valley Station is perhaps 30 miles from Bamyili. It's only a little station. Only a few people work there, maybe only 12.
3.	We got there about dinnertime, but the show wasn't going to start till 1 o'clock. When it was time for the rodeo, everybody went down to the little showground.
4.	The riders came riding buckjumpers. Some of the men fell off, but some managed to hang on. The same thing happened with the bull ride too.
5.	When the show finished in the afternoon, we went to the manager's camp for a barbecue. When the barbecue was over, we came back to Bamyili in the big truck. We felt very cold.
