This is Irrunytju. Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa (the creation story of the Two Sisters). The women were travelling throught this country stopping at the rock holes along the way. They had special Inma (ceremonial singing and dancing).

When the little sister was very small she was blown by a big wind far to the south, to another country, where the people spoke another language and had different Inma (ceremonies). Many years later the big sister heard where her sister was and went to bring her back home. They travelled togeather for many days. The little sister was frightened and crying. "I don’t want to go on. I want to go back" she wailed. The elder sister taught her ceremonial knowledge as the travelled through the desert. Close to Irrunytju the sisters made hair belts for Inma (ceremonial song and dance). From there the big sister threw her digging stick and made the rock hole Wana Wani.
