STORY
This is my grandfather's Country, Walawala, near Kiwirrkurra in the NT. The wedge-tailed eagle created this Country during the Dreamtime. The eagle caught a kangaroo in the hills and took the kangaroo all the way through the hills down the plain creating the river that you see today. Wedge-tailed eagles fly above the hills today looking for kangaroos.
