Joyanne Pitjara Morton – Arlketh (White Gum) The arlketh (white gum) flowers after the rain, I love the flowers

Kathleen Nanima Rambler – Ilpay Anyerreyl (Creek Flowing) When it starts to rain the creek beds start to flow. Good for the plants and animals. Then everything starts to turn green. The animals are happy for the water especially after we have had hot weather.

Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – Penh Kwaty (After Rain) After we have big rain the land is full of flowers and the river is full of water. This makes me happy.

Kathleen Nanima Rambler -Terekerre (White Cockatoo) When I go bush driving, I see these terekerre (white cockatoos). Mostly around dams, and especially when it is hot. I don’t see these around my community very much.

Julieanne Ngwarraye Morton – Alpeyt Alpeyt (Flowers Blooming) Walking across my land to look for bush flowers and goanna. I bring home to make medicine for my family and cook the goanna for dinner.  Goanna is my favourite to eat.

Vicky Pula Holmes – Awangk Penh Kwaty – (Hunting After Rain) After big rain the land is covered in flowers. I like to go collect bush flowers to make bush medicine for my family. I look for goanna too and bush bananas. These are my favourite.
