Inscribed "Jila Country No. 3" to the reverse.
Born in remote sandhill country a long way south of his present camp (on the
edge of the Great Sandy Desert), Jimmy was a member of one of the last groups
of people to leave the desert and settle on cattle stations in the Kimberleys
during the 1950s. He spent his childhood as a nomad, moving with his family
around the various waterholes that were the focal points of their arid country,
occasionally visiting related groups of people in adjacent territory.
