1 1 form y separately published work icon Kanyini Bob Randall , Melanie Hogan , ( dir. Melanie Hogan ) Australia : Hopscotch Films , 2005 Z1390857 2005 single work film/TV

Kanyini is a story told by an Aboriginal man, Bob Randall, who lives beside the greatest monolith in the world, Uluru in Central Australia.

Based on Bob's own personal journey and the wisdom he learnt from the old people living in the bush, Bob tells the tale of why Indigenous people are now struggling in a modern world and what needs to be done for Indigenous people to move forward.

A tale of Indigenous wisdom clashing against materialist notions of progress, this is not only a story of one man and his people but the story of the human race.' Source: http://www.kanyini.com/ (Sighted 30/08/2007).

'Tracker Tjugingji lived out bush with his family. They camped in little windbreak shelters, and Tjugingji used to sleep on the ground next to his parents. One time Tracker Tjugingji's parents decided to go to a big lake, a long way east of where they were camped... Tjugingji wanted to go too, but he didn't expect the trip to be quite such an adventure. This book also includes a CD of The Animal Song, a lively tune about kangaroos hopping, dingoes howling and big emus walking.' (Source: fishpond website)
