ENQUIRE

This country called Tapu Jila (living waterhole) belongs to me. My parents used to live here when my mothers were married with one husband. Also my mothers used to grind a lot of seeds and hunt around, travelling far and wide through country looking for grinding seeds and other jila. This is a main living waterhole surrounded by bush tucker places.
