ENQUIRE

This is the sandhill country, Jilji, which goes on and on. 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. Sometimes there are flowers, Putipula, or different trees and grasses, as well as bushtucker.
