Hunting for goannas in the Western Desert of WA - This Place

Added by First Languages Australia

'This Place' is a partnership between the ABC and First Languages Australia inviting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to create a short video about a place name, and the story behind it. Share with ICTV with support from the Community Benefit Fund.

Leah Robinson and her Martu families love to hunt sand goannas in the western desert region of WA. The community at Parrngurr has a special place nearby – a significant waterhole where past elders first settled and lived.
