Tjakura tjukurpa (Great Desert Skink)
Josephine Mick
“This is my story, Josephine Mick, I know this story from my father. The Tjakura children listen to their mother and father as they travel and camp together. Father is looking around, he’s looking for a good place to camp. Digging a cave shape, he makes a good place for the little children to sleep, with mother and father. Then a place for the older ones to sleep a little way off.Father says, “Stay together, don’t go off, or a ngaya (cat) or fox will eat you!”. The children are listening to their father and mother. They don’t go off.” – Josephine Mick, March 2023
