You are Walpiri. You have been away from your family
for three long hard years. You have searched east, north, south
and are on the final leg of your journey - to Western Australia.

The red kangaroos have taken you far into the desert
where you rest by some Flinders grass. It makes you think of home
and you wonder whether you’ll be able to even make it home.
Your quest has been exhausting - more difficult and fraught
with danger than you ever expected.

The roos have told you that it has been raining near your old home -
Curica Creek. This worries you as bilbies have no need of water,
but water brings cattle, foxes, dingoes and feral cats into your habitat.

You doubt that your poor family with only old Tulka and your mother Woordaady to protect them could survive.

Suddenly you come across a bilby mound.
The spoor is fresh and the mound well kept.
You can’t see well but your sense of smell tells you that there
are other burrows nearby. Wild with excitement you hurry
around the mounds - not wanting to enter as bilbies are territorial
and the last thing you need is a fight.
