This is three places. The first country is Nymun, that’s a sacred men’s place and we can’t talk about that because it’s dangerous for us. Karu kulupa, munu kapi tjuta (there are small creeks and many rock holes). The place in the middle is Palka-Palka. This is on the road from Irrunytju to Tjuntjuntjarra. The other country is Kungkarrakalpaku ngura (Seven Sisters Dreaming homeland). This is my family’s place, Kuru Ala. This is a sacred women’s place. Wati Nyirri wantinyi (they didn’t want that man Nyirru).
