Every time we go out for the day, we take roo tail to cook up. And the women go for walk to look for goanna while the rest of the families wait back at the camp making fire ready to cook up roo tail and any other tucker we find. The crows hang around waiting for the scraps from the food. There is a creek that flows from Areyonga to Illari Spring. When it has water horses come to drink - there are bullocks and camels - too many - all drinking from the creek. This is my country - Tempe Downs
