This place is around little swamp. There's a gate there and we used to drive through it from Ukaka through to Tempe Downs to go to Illararri waterhole when we moved from Jay Creek back to set up Ukaka Outstation around 1993-94. We take the kids for swimming. And sometimes we spend the night there and the kids love to see the Country. And the womans driving the Toyota and digging for witchetty grubs, looking for bush foods, hunting for goannas, perentie. See all the donkeys there and camels, goannas, perentie, python. The boys [far left] are following the track, chasing goanna, trying to catch him. So all the wild camels and donkeys and horses there. Lots of eagle in sky.
