Blood Range Outstation 13163-23
"Mother's country, Blood Range, next to Tjuninanta homeland. They are on the same road. Blood Range outstation, 2 houses and 2 families living there. My grandfather and grandmother and two aunites sitting down and two uncles playing football. Every year CLC comes by in the helicopter looking at the country and for animals like camels. All the white cockatoos and black crows flying. Sometimes the birds run out of water so they come to the outstation for water. People are still use the well from the early days, they fill up a little bowl for drinking. Sometimes I go on the weekend, stay there for Saturday and Sunday and go hunting and showing the country and beautiful landscape.
We see beautiful sunsets there."
