MY NAME IS…

Jeremy Whiskey

MY POSITION IS…

Lead guitarist, singer and song writer with Iwantja Band.

MY MOB IS…

Yankanytjara

I LIVE IN…

Iwantja community, also called Indulkana. At the top of the Stuart Highway in the Central Desert, South Australia.

THE POPULATION  HERE IS…

About 150 people.

BRIEF HISTORY…

I grew up at Mintabie, near Iwantja from the age of 12, and in the North Island of New Zealand before that. I am also a youth worker in the community.

DESCRIPTION…

The land here is flat apart from the Indulkana range itself. There are a few rocky outcrops. It gets stinking hot, averages in the 40s during summer.

LIFESTYLE…

Most people live at night and play music at night. We catch a few ‘roos and rabbits and people make their own fun.
