Walla Walla is my Grandfather's country near Kiwirrkurra. At the end of the Wet Season the creeks start to dry up signalling the arrival of Winter. During the Winter months the remaining creek waters become cold and the green grasses on the hills and mountains dry up, however, the soil remains cool and wet making it perfect for goanna to dig holes in the nice soft earth. Also, the sunsets on my Grandfather's Country are bright and powerful during this time of year. Bright Stars appear as does the MIlky Way.
