Jila Country

Its a snake, rainbow serpent. Used to live in the desert, my grandfather’s country. Used to be dry a long time ago and now its been raining up there. Water gone up, it was green. Beautiful. All kinds of animals live there.

I was told by my grandfather it was a peaceful and beautiful place. The old people left that place.
Jila country.
