So we got saddled up

the year or month

trees and grass

I lived here when I was a little girl

This story is about Pinti Lake

WHEN WE GO OUT TO COUNTRY WE USE TO GO OVER JILJI AFTER JILJI DIGGING SMALL WATERHOLES

the leaves have white on them

last year with all our family

My mother birthplace

not as big as that cheeky snake Wirnpa

He told me that those men killed our men and a lot of women too

It's very long way into the desert behind a big hill and it has four trees around the waterhole
