Pmara nhanha nama pmara nurnakanha. Katjia nhanha era nama kwaarra nuka. Era pmara arrpunha-urna lhakala, nhaakwa. I remember when we stayed out in Watarrka (Kings Canyon) at our family outstation. My father, he was a preacher. I’m there, little, sitting on the ground in front of my father. And this is our house, this one. And this one is my daughter, she’s over in that house on the other side.
