This is Lumpu Lumpu, These are the hills around Lumpu Lumpu, it is all hilly country around there. Our people used to live there. There was a massacre out there so our people don't live there any more. We only go there to hunt now. A lot of old people used to live in this country. People came down from Canning Stock route, and stayed at Lumpu Lumpu. Our people speared some cattle there for tucker, the Station men got angry and killed our people, a lot of people were killed. My brother Boxer told me this story, he saw it happen. He told me that those men killed all the men and a lot of women too. The kartiya killed my people, some of the kartiya did real bad things to our people. Now we only go out there for hunting, because it is sad for us to live there. They used to just kill them people and burn them, they just put kerosine on them. After the massacres led by the cattlemen, the police came and made them people (old people) go to the stations and made them people work. They was living there at the station and they would get sick of it and would run away, they weren't used to the cattle station, the police men would bring them back again. My father worked for the cattle station, he used to run away if he saw a goanna and catch him and eat him. The last me he ran away the police men caught him and took him to jail in Broome. This was when he was at Cherrabun station. We waited for him at Cherrabun station while he was doing his me in Broome. When he got back from jail he took me and my two brothers and two sisters to Moola Bulla station. There is lots of good mangarri (vegetable food) and Kuyi (game, meat; animal food - also called kuyu there at Lumpu Lumpu. We got kakaji (goanna), sugar bag, pinkirrjar (plains turkey), karnangganyja (emu), minaji (porcupine), marnuwiji (konkerberry).
