Wyndham to Oombulgurri, The Kimberley in Western Australia 27 June 2015.

Oombulgurri is an Aboriginal community in the East of the Kimberley, with a population of 107 (in 2006) Before this time over 400 people used to live here.
In 2011, the families from Oombulgurri were evicted from their homes after the government of Western Australia deemed the community "unviable".

"We are not allowed to go back." As I (Ingetje Tadros) am documenting Aboriginal stories for over a few years and heard about this story, I felt I needed to do something and after a few months of getting contacts and organising I hired a boat from Wyndham, (it took 1 2/2 hr) and 6 km's of walking and took 5 people back to their homeland. These five people had not been back since their community was demolished. This trip was an emotional trip and full of anxiety but when we arrived on their land there was a sense of homecoming too. We spent all day walking around but felt very sad as most houses where gone, just empty spaces. A bizarre feeling.
