Synopsis

Sylvia Allan, a wonderful Pilbara elder, returns to Yindjibarndi heartland. At Millstream, a huge aquifer supplies crystal clear water to deep lily ponds surrounded by palms with river nearby. Sylvia sets foot in the kitchen at the original homestead from which she and other Aboriginal children were always barred, and samples the fruit of the orange tree that she remembers from childhood days.
