- In 1940 and 1942 well-known Australian anthropologist C P Mountford made scientific expeditions into central Australia for the University of Adelaide. He travelled in desert country to the west and southwest of Alice Springs and photographed material which, in 1946 he edited into two films, Walkabout and Tjurunga. Mountford's films are an irreplaceable ethnographic record of the life of the Pitjantjatjara people of this area, before extended contact with European culture. In Walkabout, he narrates his experiences on a journey through central Australia with a group of Pitjantjatjara people. Walkabout records food gathering and preparation, hunting, fire making and family life as well as scenes near and on the sacred rock formation, Uluru. In 1974, at the request of the local Aboriginal community, certain sequences showing ceremony were removed from the film, and the two films were combined into one. Mountford's original narration has been retained.
- This documentary focuses on the sacred sites in and around Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in central Australia, and the struggle of the Arrernte people to identify, document and preserve these sites in the face of rapid urban expansion and property development. Max Stuart, Thomas Stevens, Doris Stuart and other Elders talk about the importance of the sites in and around the city in terms of traditional Dreaming. They reflect on their sense of loss as sites are desecrated by urban development. The Caterpillar and Wild Dog Dreamings have many sites of critical importance in the area. Also threatened are the ancient gum trees in the Todd River, many of them of sacred significance and important to ceremony but being damaged by development and by outsiders passing through the area. As Doris Stuart says, "our whole being is tied up in these sites." The process of negotiation with the government and the city's developers are outlined by Indigenous lobbyist, Peter Renehan. Archival footage documents the hearings leading to the Native Title Act and the recognition of the Arrernte people as the first inhabitants of the Alice Springs area. A new process of consultation and co-operation with the traditional custodians of Knowledge and the Land is beginning to make a difference in terms of the protection of sacred sites.
