Kurlumarniny: We come from the desert is rich in humour and in the ways of Ngulipartu culture. Some of the stories he tells are deeply personal. For example, we learn about Minyjun’s relationship with Nalma, a woman who was ‘wrong side’ for him. Together they left the group and went into hiding, remaining away from their community for a number of years before their marriage was finally accepted. Through Minyjun’s remarkable memory, his vast cultural knowledge and his strong desire to leave a record of his life, readers can share in this unique story.'
