Warlukitjirri is a site north east of Tjukurla community. Far into the remote western desert of Katjarra's home. Katjarra tells the story here when she was a kungkawarra (teenager) walking around camping with her whole family, moving from site to site. At Warlukitjirri they found what they thought was a water tank, a 44 gallon drum. They put a hole in it, and a cold liquid came out. Thinking it was cold water, the whole family drank handfuls of the liquid. The liquid turned out to be diesel. Katjarra tells of how they all had a fever, were ge?ng hot and cold all over, had the biggest headaches and got very unwell.
