The text with this image reads:

In 1969 my parents sold the farm and came down to Brisbane to live. They bought a house at Graceville. At the time both my brother Alan and I were living in Brisbane and my father wanted us to come back home and live under the same roof, Chinese style. I thought the idea was a complete joke, I was about to leave for the brighter lights of Sydney. However Alan moved back home.
