YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

To Debra Dank, some of the most remote country in Australia is the centre of her universe.

She's a Gudanji and Wakaja woman who grew up in Camooweal, where fish rained from the sky and grandmothers fought with traditional fighting sticks.

But her true home was across the Northern Territory border and up towards the Gulf of Carpentaria, a place of plains, gorges and big rivers.
