This story is about a place called Kulitja, in Yankunytjatjara country close to Victory Downs in the Northern Territory. There are many rockholes at this site and it is the home of a wati wanampi (male water serpent). He is looking around for kuka (meat) and mai (bushtucker) such as kampurarpa (bush tomato) and wayanu (quandong). One day, another water serpent comes to this place. The wati wanampi fights him and he runs away. After that, the wati wanampi eats the food, curls up and goes to sleep, forming a large rockhole that is still there today. This is the home of the wati wanampi (male water serpent).
