When he wasyoung he walked the desert east of the <strong>Canning</strong> <strong>Stock</strong> <strong>Route</strong> with his older brother, Brandy.<strong>The</strong>y regularly crossed the stock route and ultimately, in 1958, Patrick followed the chain ofwells north out of the desert. After living many years in Balgo, he returned to live near hisCountry at Kiwirrkurra.This was where our people got together as one, along these wells. Our grandfathers too.<strong>The</strong>y was all as one people, don’t matter [that they’re from] different tribes.Patrick Olodoodi(Alatuti) Tjungurrayiborn about 1935.Manyjilyjarra, Kukatjalanguage groups,Kiwirrkurra communityIn 2007 Patrick returned to the <strong>Canning</strong> <strong>Stock</strong> <strong>Route</strong> to retrace the journey he had madeout of the desert 50 years earlier.
