Roogoon (Crocodile Hole) by Thlema Thomas

‘This la bottom side of Roogoon [Crocodile Hole]. This good country that.

That’s the water- the black painted parts. You can’t swim there, too many crocodiles and that snake, but it’s a beautiful place to go.’

This gorge at Crocodile Hole is a very good place for fishing. It has been an important hunting ground too.

That place holds a big collection of things; some sacred men’s law business things, and artefacts made with the resin or wax you can collect from spinifex grass called gaal in Gija can be found..

surrounded and protected by strong landscapes; crocodile gorge, many hidden caves, springs and waterholes, its a powerful healing place.
