Never Stay in One Place ... Kakadu is a place of breathtaking splendour, rich in plants and animals, in the remote north of Australia. It is the homeland of Big Bill Neiijie and his Gagadju people. Big Bill teaches his children the traditional skills of aboriginal life. Choosing non-poisonous bulbs and fruits, tapping trees for water, catching snakes, digging for yams: a culture that forbids waste - practised in a land of plenty.
With uranium below the soil and increasing numbers of tourists, Kakadu is under pressure. But Big Bill is determined that this bountiful land will remain a home for his people and the source of their spiritual strength.
