I lived in Nyrippi for a while, next community into the desert. I went out there to work with the women on art projects, it was a balls up from the start, no-one had asked the people what they actually wanted. I have some suggestions for you, first one is live by the Law and second is learn some Walpiri. I still remember a bit, the words for rain, thorny devil, kangaroo and piss off kids springs to mind. I'm happy to talk to you about my experiences if you want. What are you going to be doing out there? It is one hell of an experience, I'll always be changed by my time out there.
