I’ve always been interested in the Aborigines. Especially considering how long they have been around. Good story!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this episode. If you have any future show suggestions feel free to let us know, also don’t be afraid to send in a haiku! 😉
Adjusting to community life was not easy for all members of the family. One brother, Payirti, returned to the bush soon after arriving at Kiwirrkurra. The family does not talk about him, but other people say different things – that he is living in a different community, or that he visits Alice Springs under a different name.
Thanks for the additional information
