Urrakurli is the Adnyamathanha word for Magpie.
A gang of male magpies is standing on the untidy road verge outside Barossa Nanna’s house, bragging about their best efforts at swooping people, especially cyclists.
Two older male Urrakurli swoop down and land next to the gang.
Hey, Spike! Hey, Sniper! Hey, Simon!
Uh! Oh! Are Spike, Sniper and Simon in trouble?
This richly illustrated text shows the elder Urrakurli (magpies) teaching the young males the rules about swooping.
Two Adnyamathanha words - Urrakurli (magpie) and Udnyu (white people) are introduced in the text.
The Urrakurli were observed on the roadside verge at Barossa Nanna’s house with conversation imagined by the author.

They often travelled together and sometimes talked about writing children’s books. More than ten years ago, they had big ideas about how to achieve their book plans. The reality about the timelines for writing grant applications, strategic plans and workforce development reports took priority and the shared approach to children’s stories lapsed.
