Warri and Yatungka were believed to be the last of the Mandildjara tribe of the Gibson Desert to live nomadically. Their deaths in the late 1970s marked the end of a tribal lifestyle that stretched back more than 30,000 years.

The Last of the Nomads tells of an extraordinary journey in search of Warri and Yatungka.
