This is the sandhill country, Jilji, on and on they go.  In between the Jilji, that is called Bila, flat country. The Jilji can be close, or further apart. The land may be burnt, or with the green grass that comes after. There might be flowers, Putipula, sometimes, or trees, different trees and grasses, and bushtucker.
