When the rain came, this water been fill’em-up...big water, like a lake. There was good drinking water there. Mother and father took us there, we were so tired, all of us. There was my brother and two sisters there too. Only me and my brother still alive...mother and father finished.

We dug out that waterhole when the bush tucker ran out, when there was lots of grass. My mother father and brother (he was a big boy) they went hunting & caught two big cattle...good feed.

This pain..ng is for a country called Kurntumarra jarra. This is a waterhole in the hills. There are also lots of wirrkuja there too. Wirrkuja is rockholes full of water after the rain. When this waterhole dries up there is still some water in the wirrkuja.

This is a wirrkuja (waterhole in rock which fills up after rain). We would drink water from here in the wet time. In the hot weather time we stayed near the jila (living waterhole). We only stayed in the rocky country for short time after the rain.

This is a wirrkuja. These are rockholes which fill up after rain. They have good cool water. Raining time we used to drink here. It gets dry in the cold months.

This country call Nurtu .There is ajila (living water hole) here. My mother and father used to live around this jila when I was a little girl. My parents used to go hunting for bush meats and yams and other foods, and I used to travel around with them.

There is water all around here after the wet. When the palma (small creeks) dry up, there is still good living water here. It is a good place to find bush foods. This place is a long way into the desert. It is on the Fitzroy Crossing side of the Canning Stock Route.

This is my country called Mukurrurtu. This is desert country. There are big high jilji (sandhills). We call them pilyurr pilyurr.

This is high jilji (sandhill) country. After the rain the water lies between the jilji. The jilji are very high here. You cannot see over them.
