This is my mother and my father’s country called Jupurr. There is a cave here with the jila (living water) inside. There is good yellow ochre here. We used to camp here in the hot weather time. There is always water here in this place.

This is jilji (sandhill) country. There are lots of trees with plenty of seeds to eat. We cook them in the coals and then grind them. These two waterholes Jupurr and Yirtil , are my main living waters, we walked all around here.
