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 Big Rain
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.

Our Country (The Pilbara)
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. Our country has so much to offer. Bush foods and medicine as well as animals like emu, kangaroo, and goanna. When the rains come our rivers are full and we all love to go out and spend the day fishing. We are also close to the ocean, so we often go fishing there as well. During the holidays many of our families go bush to enjoy what the country offers. Our country is full of riches, and we are connected to our land.

Moonlight over Grandmother’s Country
Moonlight over Grandmother’s Country, Harding Dam, Ngarluma Yindjibarndi Country.
The glow around the moon represents the Burndud ring. The Burndud ring only shows up when it’s Lore and Culture time for Yindjibarndi people. This usually happens around hot time for us. The ladies dance the Yindjibarndi dance at night time. It is forbidden to be shown.
