PRETTY DEADLY: YELLOW CAKE
Listen to audio

This is a recording of Bill Wesley (Rest In Peace) from 1983.

Tuyunagatharra
which
means the two gods

It's a Dreamtime belief
that this very place
should not be touched by anyone
that's told by our elders
not to disturb the place
or to
dig around it
or to
uplift anything out from the ground itself
because
because this things is pretty deadly
no one is allowed to touch it

And yet
the Western Mines
has all the rights to go down
state their claims
and unearth this
this yellow cake

And we know the stories
that was said about the Yeelirrie
that it
it's gonna go on killing
it's been a destroyer before

When the 2 gods that came
they destroyed this evil being
and put it under a big spell
and it was said not to
for no one allowed to touch it

The white peoples only just finding out now
that even the waste itself is pretty deadly

The old Aborigine knew that before
before the whites ever came
