Pilbara Hills
In our country we have many hills of all different shapes and sizes. When driving through country at different times the colours change and some of the hills look like velvet in the evening and morning light .
After the rain the rivers and creeks in our country come alive with a new growth of plants . The country is filled with beautiful colours. We rejoice looking at our rivers and creeks full of water, so that we can go fishing, kids can go swimming and we can picnic with our families and friends
Pilbara is the country where we the Yindjibarndi people live and share many of our cultural stories and history that have been passed onto us by our ancestors, of how they used to walk through the flat country we call the Table Lands, visiting family members at nearby stations.
It is one of the sacred sites on the way to GG. It’s a place where Yindjibarndi ancestors walked the country gathering bush food, camping, staying close to main pools surroudning the area Wayumarri. Bilaa is a small seed that grows there. It is gathered and ground into a flour. Our ancestors used to make damper from that flour.
