My background
Nyamal country takes in the Coongan and Shaw rivers to their headwaters and on the lower reaches of the de Grey River west of Barramine almost to Mulyie and Wodgina; at Marble Bar, Nullagine, Hillside, Bamboo Springs, and Warrawoona. Nyamal people have coastal lands following the Tabba Tabba Creek through Strelley and Pippingarra and the headwaters of the Yule and Turner rivers east of Wodjina. The area west of the Shaw River is also Nyamal country shared with other language groups.
I know all this country like the back of my hand. I began my employment as a stockman and bushman. I have worked as a jack of all trades across the Pilbara region of Western Australia. For many years now I have been a cultural liason and training mentor for Indigenous people working in the mining industry.
