Melissa used to live in Oombulgurri, but left in 2005 to live elsewhere but got in trouble and ended up homeless and later on in prison.
Oombi's last residents where moved out in 2011, the community got bulldozed in 2014.
I met Melissa in a park in Kununurra, while I was doing a story on Oombi, she told me her story, she told me what a great place her old home was as she used to go fishing all the time, later Melissa showed me the place where she slept with her partner. Her she is rolling up her mattress.
