This is Ngarrgooroon Country, but down near Halls Creek way. That's where the old people bin' living in the old days. I bin' knowing that country - mustering country. We used to look at all those paintings, where the old people used to hide in those hills in the middle. The rocks down the bottom are where those paintings are, those paintings from the old people. They used to paint everything - crocodiles and man - everything.
