'Five senior Alywarre lawmen journey from their community of Ali Curung (Land of the Dogs) across 450kms of semi-arid plane and range country to perform Ceremonies at three significant sites where the narrative of an important Dingo songline plays out.'

Notes

  • 'Senior Alyawarre lawman and songline custodian, Donald Kemarre Thompson, known as Crookhat, has lived forever on his homelands. Crookhat is still fit at 74 and continues to hunt porcupine, kangaroo and lizard. He only travels to Alice Springs for land council business and rare hospital visits. The section of the Dingo songline Crookhat and his five brothers are responsible for is one of the most culturally significant to cross the Barkly Tableland.'
