- Ikarlaantja (Hawk)
"This is the MacDonnell Ranges, that big blue mountain is Mount Sonder, Rrutjupma. All the tourists go and take a picture of that big rock. From my family’s outstation, I can see that mountain. Early morning and every day. Sometimes I go and stay there for the weekend and I get a piece of paper and pencil and draw that mountain from my outstation. The hawk, irrkarlaantja, up in the sky he goes round and round looking for goanna, lizard. When I’m looking at the mountain I see irrkarlaantja and elintja, galah, and all the other birds." - Hayley
- This is my Country Urrampinyi
"This is my country Urrampinyi, that’s old Tempe Downs station, a little cattle station. That’s a old place, my Grandfather was working there a long time ago. We used to go and visit that place every holiday. We have to drive down the south road to get there, or drive Four Wheel Drive up the Finke River, up the middle of the creek. We go to that water place Ilarrara Spring. It's a waterhole west of Urrampinyi (Tempe Downs). We go and camp there down." - Hayley
