This country is called Jarriyi, it is pirntinurlkal, claypan country.When the rain falls down and fills the flat areas it makes a big lake. We used to get drinking water here. We sing about this country. In the Ngarrangkarri (Dreamtime) two men travelled across this country and burnt themselves with fire a long time ago.
