ENQUIRE

"We have been walking for a long time, my kirlaki (grandfather - father’s father) my ngawiji (grandmother - father’s mother), my ngamaji (mother) and my ngarpu (father) and before that a long time all our people walked through the Jilji (sandhills) in the Great Sandy Desert. In the jumangkarni (dreamtime) big mob of people walked one by one across the Jilji. In the Jilji we catch that wirlka (sand goanna) there is also marlu (kangaroo) and wallaby, and mangarri (vegetable food)."
