The animal references in S2 and S3 and the “my own culture” certainly said “Aboriginal” to me. But you could be right, Mark, though it doesn’t seem to quite square with Les talking as himself. He was from a bush family as you know, and went to school locally, afterwards attending a “town” high school (Taree). If his “own culture” refers to the general Aussie culture why would he couple it with only two years of his schooltime?
It could refer to his bush culture as opposed to the wider Australian, but then I can’t see how that works with the driving in at the end.
But Janet understands it. I’d like to hear her take on all this.
