This is Pukara my father’s country. There are two wanampis (serpent men, father and son) that live here.Tjuratja tjuta (lot’s of sweet nectar - from honey grevillea growing here).

This is a dangerous place as the wanampis are not friendly. The son was left by his father in the rockhole and all the people teased him because he looked funny. His eyes were strange. The son grew up angry and ate many people for being cruel to him when he was young.
