Turtles
When we see sea turtles it can mean that they can be mating and that makes us aware that they will soon be going to lay eggs. Some of our people eat the eggs and turtles.

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.

Marni (River systems)
The Pilbara is a land of many beautiful colours. Its beauty blends into the mother earth and against the red, purple hills in the distance. In time and season, the yellow Wattles, Mulla and Sturt Pea bloom and the country comes alive with the wildflowers watered by the rain and heavy dew during the night. The land and our country also tells a wonderful story about our ancestor’s. They walk and lived on the land, always gathering food such as fish from the river, hunting kangaroos and tracking goanna’s and also gathering bush fruits and medicine.
