Lake Gregory (Mulan) - Hanson Pye, 2022 Jean RangiThis story was told to me by my grandfather and my people. The stories are about the Sturt Creek that runs down to Lake Gregory ( Mulan ). Its the big stories how people went down to the Bililuna for Christmas. They went walking, catching goanna, kangaroo, gum, binary. They walked along the creek. Getting there in Sturt Creek, they got there in the afternoon or in the morning. Jalulu kitpinya pirn marnin Jutkijangka wunalugidbinya karnyin Minya kiliki

Our people came down from Canning Stock Route

All I can remember is the voice of Harold Brown and Roger telling me "dont move

trees and grass

We hunted pussycat and goanna

Presented in this exhibition and catalogue are the words

Ngurti or timber coolamon

Boab nuts are synonymous with the Kimberley region

And trees get green for the people sit under the green represent grass and the blue represent the jila is full of water

I was young one here I been walk around hungry my parents been catch all the food

I thought Im not going to walk again
