Miramiratjara is a sacred place in the central Spinifex Lands. This is my place from my father and Grandfather. There are a lot of sand dunes here and underground water guarded by lots of snake men. Richard Court (past Western Australia Premier) came here and signed the paper giving us our land back. I went there. This is a special place for the Spinifex people.
