00:00Well, William Barco Bray. I know that he was 38 when he passed. He was a father that left eight
00:09children and Harriet got the most money because of so many children and lived at Mossvale. The
00:16house is still there to this day. We went and saw his grave yesterday down at Wollongong.
00:25It has been vandalised, but I was told that in 2018, a couple of young boys.
00:31How does it feel to be here now? Surreal, really good. It feels like a weight lifted off your
00:40shoulders, but it just feels I made it to pay my respects to not only to William, my great
00:48grandfather, but to all the other family members that have lost people in that disaster. Even
00:55that monument, like when you read the names, there's like families of five, fathers, sons,
01:00like the whole family. That's sad. When you leave here, what's going to stick with you the
01:07most? What will be the lesson or the privilege, I suppose, of coming? Just everybody, the people,
01:14how the community is pulled together when something like this happens and how everyone,
01:22you know, their time goes into making these events so special. So, yeah.
