Pupuliri is my Country on the way north to Kaltukatjara (Docker River) in the Northern Territory from Irrunytju rock hole near Wingellina Community where I live now. There are three main rock holes and other smaller ones. This is my fathers Country and as a child I spent time travelling around this country with my mother and father and uncle. I remember my sister Yvonne and I would collect kampurarrpa (bush tomato, desert raisin). After the rains all the wild flowers come out and the country is full of colour.
