ENQUIRE

This is my country. It is called Pirnti (near the Canning Stock Route). There are lots of bush foods like kumpupaja (bush tomato) and minyirli. Minyirli is a berry, it is white and the size of a marble. We would poke a stick through each one (like satay) and take them home for the kids. During the hot and dry season we would dig very deep holes for water. We call these holes Jurl Jurl. The holes fill up with good water. We camped around these Jurl Jurl for a long time until the water dried out, then we would move on looking for more water holes. I want to go back and visit this country.
