Tell me about what happened with your oldest brother when he was just

10.

You're right, Sarah.

Gudji also had sisters and brothers that went out there too as well.

But...

When they were living in Broome, my grandmother, Goody, would walk around with an overcoat and people knew then that she was trying to hide the blemishes.

And mum and dad would take my oldest brother Dickie down to her in the afternoon and my mother was beside herself because she knew that when Goody was giving him a cuddle, lifting him up, the chances of him contracting the disease from her was very high.

Was that something that you remember as a girl being scared of, Edith? Like was there that fear that, you know, you could contract it and that would be where you'd be sent as well? How do you remember that, the presence that leprosy had in your own mind as a kid?
