This is all the jila in my country including Karrparti, Kawarr, Jurntiwa and Wirrguja jila (living water). It also shows Dodo, Kartal and Kiriwirri & Yukarri and others. When I was young I walked all around these places, with my mummy and daddy. In living water there is a quiet snake. Sometimes he rises up, but we sing him down, sometimes he can travel and bring rain.
