Hailstorm Dreaming

This piece tells the story of Yilpi’s grandfather and the hailstorm that killed him. As a young man he didn’t listen to the elders that a big storm was coming. His body was found accidentally by children gathering bush food and swimming in the newly filled rock holes in another area of the country. This story is told to the children to teach them the importance of listening to their elders.
