My father was born there and there is family there - Uncles, Aunties, Mothers, Grandfathers. He was the last one that was born in the desert, and he is the youngest. Women only go there when they are having a baby. The other families tell them he was born just now, and there was no doctor. When they born, they dig themselves a hole in the sand dune and cover them with sand. They wait for hours with the baby, with other families.
The oldest ones go hunting with their dad and when it’s getting dark they go back in the afternoon. They keep the babies warm in the sand and leaves cover them, they use leaves for chasing flies away too. He was playing around when he was grown up, playing with his brothers and sisters and suddenly there was a serpent snake that came. His other sister they went for hunting and they saw the serpent snake, and poked it, and the water came out the top, there is a big hole in there now. This is where Jupiter Well is - it has 8 houses, a tank and a windmill and it is not far from the sand dune.
That is where they go hunting and they seen a war in the sky, they had never seen a plane before and it crashed and they thought it was a ghost. My father saw the oil dripping from the plane and thought it was honey and drank it. This place the English name is Jupiter Well - the English name was after the white people went past. The aboriginal mob called it Nyinmi.
The colours are the wildflowers. Little puppies - dingoes, a quiet one was there. Some of the families take the dogs hunting too.
