This is the creation story for Ilpili about the Two Sister creation beings. The women were hiding in Tjukulas (rockholes) and one Wati (man) was searching for them but he could not see them. The younger sister was pregnant and her older sister was looking after her. As they hid in a cave at the base of the hill, the man climbed up high to look for them and called out, "Yaltji, minyma kutjara (where are you two women)?"
