Patju has depicted the significant site of Kupitji situated north east of traditional Spinifex Lands and close to the present day community of Watarru. It is at this site where three men taking the form of malu (kangaroo), Kalaya (emu) and Kipara (bush turkey) throw a kali (boomerang).
This forms part of a larger complex story that cannot be spoken of. These are creation beings and as such their exploits are etched in the landscape in the paths the travelled. Patju speaks of the monolithic reminders that are here at this site in the form of large rocky hills.
