Gold Country
Yipirinya, Alice Springs, N.T. Australia, That’s the Gold Country. From a tiny speck of dust, a tiny little rock, a small forest of bush plum plants just fruiting, mulga forest, ironwood, the mighty ghost, the soft white sands in the creeks, rivers, waterholes everywhere, Oh so much water, mostly underneath the ground, too much, my mob, Dad’s mum, her people, Aranda people, at Aroomana. Thousands of years, biggest river underground right under country. Drought times, other tribes come to our country for water, paint themselves, then they enter, sacred place. That’s water, that’s why it’s the Gold Country.
The ancient mountains, hills, gaps, gullies. Natural faces in the rocks (landscapes). The old man watch over me, and over all Yipirinya. The waterholes everywhere, so beautiful. The native bream fish, and all the other varieties of fish from this country, high up in this country. Gold Country.
Nothing pleases me more than to just walk through country. It’s so touching, so gentle, so spiritual, ancestors watch over, I feel them. One old Nana, one day, she said to me “Cameron, aah, you are Yipirinya kid”. I felt so loved, so proud I belong. I know I am loved by Yipirinya, all of Yipirinya. I am a part, just a little tiny part of Yipirinya, just like the fairy wrens, the little black robins that live high up on mountains. The white kangaroo (Kaditja Man), all the Aranda and other peoples, we are all Yipirinya (caterpillars).
Goose bumps always for Yipirinya, forever Gold Country. This is what I see, just like the wedge tail eagle, Undoolya, high high above, Gold Country. Please everybody, look after Yipirinya, and all Australia, and Earth.
