"Tutujarti trees (desert walnut tree) and Yarun (blood wood) all around the big waterhole called Nyijil Nyijil, that way out in the desert; That's my family country, my family comes from the desert. The waterhole is from rainwater"
Turtujarti trees are valuable for their walnuts, which can be eaten when cooked, and also used for a black dye or paint. Yarun wood is used for making coolamon, source of Bloodwood Apple, bush honey. The women get gum and seeds from the Bloodwood tree and put them on their heads as decoration.
