These colours are all different rock, different ochre from my country. I know that place, lot of me here. This is flat country. I went here when I was a kid with my uncle and with my mum and dad. I know every part of my country. But that big colour (large area of pink) my brother brought it from Margaret River - a drum full he brought, big mob. We got all the colour yellow, black, white, red, grey. This country around Billimack Spring on Darrajayin (Springvale Station).
