Yulu Billabong

Artwork by Rhonda Duncan

"This here is my grandmothers Country, Yulu, in the wet season time. When you go there after the rain, you can see all kinds of beautiful plants. That colour is everywhere. Colour of the land, plants, animals, grass, flowers. My dad used to have a stock camp there.

Our mum’s uncle gave us permission to look after this Country here. He told us “You’re not allowed to leave this Country and be slack. You have to look after it properly, be strong!”

It’s a special place this one. You’re not allowed to cut the trees or collect pandanus, it’s really alive that one there. That dreaming. Every time we go there, to that one special place, we sing out to the water “Grandmother it’s me here” and next minute you get lots of fish!" - Rhonda Duncan
