16 Gurirr Gurirr

The story of the Gurirr Gurirr tells of a woman being transported by ambulance to the Flying Doctor Service in Wyndham after a terrible car accident. She took off in the plane but died
soon after. Her spirit came back to Rover Thomas and told him of the landmarks and dreamings on her final voyage. That is the Gurirr Gurirr. Worla is the language in which the corroboree was communicated. Rover did not speak Worla and had to relay the songs to the people who could tell him what they meant. Before Rover died he passed the corroboree on to the son of that woman. This film is about that corroboree and that man. In early July 2005 he died.
