We open on red earth and whistling winds. The fire crackles, and the night creeps in. Fading light is met with rising sound. The bilma (clapsticks) play. We hear stories and songs; ones that speak to the rich history of the Yamitji and Wongatha peoples. Their ancestors have been here a long time. A long time.

Walya Ngaamadiki. 

As darkness turns to light, we travel north-east. We pass from red dirt to white sand. Through the sound of the waves, we hear songs from the Nunukul people and the Munaldjali clan of the Yugambeh. 

Red earth trails beneath us as we head west again, inland. Uluru rises before us. Here we pay respects to the central desert and its custodians, the Pitjantjatjara people.

The yidaki (didgeridoo)plays, calling us north. We’re greeted by Yolngu songmen from Yirrkala, before following calls east by the Mudburra peoples. We pause. We embrace the calm. 

Abala Barlawa (Everything is at peace)

We gaze out to the ocean. 

Islands to the north sing out, and a Kalaw Kawaw Ya voice arrives on the shores. We take stock, before we're beckoned south again.

We revisit the Yolngu songmen and greet the Pitjantjatjara people before heading east, to the Wannyi, Lardil and Kalkadunga tribes.

It's the gaagum (kookaburra) that welcomes us to our final stop. Gumbaynggirr country. 

Darkness starts to fall.

It’s been a long time. A long time. 

Walya Ngaamadiki.
