Fieldwork pictures

Having been lucky enough to have been involved a few years ago with hands-on documentation of an Australian Aboriginal language up in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, I thought it only appropriate to share a couple of pictures. I was involved in language documentation of the Aboriginal language Miriwoong, spoken in and around Kununurra, WA. These photos are from one of our fieldtrips collecting language data with some of the speakers while they fished.
