Most people know them as Sturt Desert Peas, but on the Lands you might also hear them called Marlu Kuru Kuru, or kangaroo eyes.

And when you see those distinctive dark centres looking out from a sea of brilliant red, itโ€™s not hard to see why.

Another splash of colour on the road across the Lands.

Looking towards the gap at Warakurna, the road cuts through red earth and open Country, drawing the eye towards the ranges and whatever waits beyond.

Another remarkable view from the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. ๐Ÿงก

Looking after our mental health can start with some of the simple things we do every day.

Small things that can make a real difference to keeping our minds and bodies strong.

Based in Warakurna, Donny works as an Alcohol & Other Drugs Counsellor with Ngaanyatjarra Health, providing both one-on-one and group counselling for men across the Lands.

A big part of Donnyโ€™s work is creating space for men to yarn, connect and talk through whatโ€™s happening in their lives, providing support both individually and alongside other men.

And Warakurna is a place Donny is very happy to call home. He loves the friendliness of the people, the peacefulness of the environment and the experience of living and working on the Lands.

For Donny, itโ€™s a pretty special place to do work that matters. ๐Ÿงก
