Puta Puta and swamp. They used to stay next to a swamp. And they go for hunting kangaroo meat. Womans go to get bush tucker, goanna. They come back afternoon, cook the meat, and Lasseter was looking round this range, Puta Puta Range for gold. They met him while he was there. This is my grandfather's family. When someone pass away they shift to other place, and then they go camp there next to the swamp.
