Bindibu Expedition Day 5

Our most exciting part of the expedition began here, meeting up with six aboriginal guides, with three of them being amongst the Pintubi Nine. Those nine people were the last group of indigenous Australians (they call themselves 'black fellas') who were born and raised in the western deserts, and who then came 'out' to live the rest of their lives together with family, in a settlement. One has since returned. 

They travelled with us for two days, showing us some of the skills they used, while living in the desert.

Here you can see Yakultji burning the spinifex, so that plants more useful to them have room to grow.
In the Extra image, Yakultji is holding a goanna, which she'd caught, which was roasted in a campfire, and which we ate. It tasted a little like chicken.

They showed us tracks of a cat, goanna, frog, legless lizard. Amazing!

We all camped together at Mumu campsite, way out beyond any civilisation.

From Wikipedia: The Pintupi Nine were a group of nine Pintupi people who lived a traditional hunter-gatherer desert-dwelling life in Australia's Gibson Desert until 1984, when they made contact with their relatives near Kiwirrkurra. They are sometimes also referred to as "the lost tribe".
