Purnululu -  the old people showed us all these places. We would see the rock art and all the old camping places. There are natural boundaries. There are the hills and rivers - the Ord River , the Franklin River and the Osmond Creek. 

There are a lot of waterholes in this place. There are different types. Where the Ord and Franklin rivers meet up there are waterholes that go dry and refill during the wet season. There are two important places there, one is called Blue Hole and the other is Jarlminyji. Not far from Franklin River and there is another rock hole located.

There are also many freshwater springs which have water in them year-round. That's living water.

In the early days you couldn't go into other peoples' countries. You had to be invited or let them know you were there. Sometimes everyone would come together for Ceremony time.
