This is the blow fly dreaming; as we call it, Ngarranggarni. "This hill my mum and dad been go up this hill looking for porcupine, and they been find it amongst the rock, but all the blow flies been surround them (too many)."
Tracey says this was a sign not to touch the porcupine and so Tracey's parents, renowned Gija artists Rammey and Mona Ramsay, went back home instead.
