Ngura Ngarutjara, a place near Ernabella. Tjukula tjuta (many waterholes), this is the Wanampi’s ngura (water-snake’s home). They are dangerous snakes; you can’t go near the Wanampi. There is a male and female Wanampi. The Wanampi have water all around them, always surrounded by water. There’s a big punu (tree) near the water, the roots go right into the water. There’s another tree nearby. This tree is for the women to make the wana (digging stick) for getting goanna and rabbit and other foods.
