Ngayuku ngura (this is my country). There are many rockholes here. It is sacred country, an important place. The place I was born is Mt Aloysius, where there is a big rock hole. My mother used to look after me at this place. After we travelled to Unpitji and Kunputina. This is a secret place. Another rockhole is Mapantji. At Tjilputja all the bird women from the dreamtime are making a wiltja (shelter). The other rockholes are Iwarra, Altjutjara and Palka Ala. There are rock holes all through this land. My country is good country, plenty of water and bush foods. The travelling tracks are marked out in lines.
