Shots of landscape around Tennant Creek. The women sit near the creek named Juan Wargal, where they talk about land, children and the Dreaming. Wupa is the name of the dam, and the hill is called Dinkali.
Curator’s notes
The women speak about the area, the creek, the dam and the hill. They have special knowledge gained from living in this place since they were young girls.
