E. Graham Nakkamarra, L. Graham Namikili and R. Graham Namikili

Wakiriji is flying fox dreaming. The waterhole is the main place for this dreaming here. All the Grahams have this dreaming, the whole mob of kids. E. Nakkamarra used to take all the kids here during school holidays when they lived at Village Camp. They would all walk the bush way, not on the main road, no motorcar then just foot. The bush was good then, not all scrub like now. People used to take care of it, burn it properly to walk all the way. Wakiriji is a place the old people used to live, before papulanji, before the miners came. Then when the miners came to Peko Mine the old people were frightened of those noises so they left that place and went to Six Mile now. Old people used to have nannie goats there, one old man who passed away now. That was E. Nakkamarra's mother's uncle. Old people used to have camp here under the two Mulga trees. D. Nangali remembered those Mulga trees straight away when we saw them. She said people would camp there and women had a dancing ground behind the hill.
