Lumpu-lumpu - Daisy Andrews, 2007 Dorothy Forrest

Lumpu-lumpu - Daisy Andrews, 2007 Dorothy ForrestThese are the hills around Lumpu lumpu, a place with mixed memories for me. It is beautiful country with sad feelings from the past. This is my mother and father's country between Christmas Creek Station and Cherrabun Station. Before I was born my family lived around this area. It is good rocky country. There is good living water here. My father was killed here at Lumpu lumpu. Our people came down from Canning Stock Route, and stayed at Lumpu lumpu,

This story was told to me by my grandfather and my people

the dead tree belongs to that waterhole it was there for many years since when the people left the desert
