I was born in Karnanganyjawudu then went to Japingka to live with my grandfather and grandmother until I was older. Then we left for Wili which is the country for Jukula mob. We picked up the rest of the mob and left to go to Puluwala, walking in the moonlight night because it was so hot. After leaving Puluwala we walked to Purrpun and camped with my grandfather Walkarr and grandmother Jawili. Then they sent Mawukura Jimmy Nerrimah to go ahead to Kurugnal. We followed later and made camp at Lumpu Lumpu whilst waiting for rest of the people to arrive.
