This is the old Dreamtime story about the time when Wangkatjungka and Gooniyandi were living together at this waterhole. The Gooniyandi man came through this country, this jila, near to Kurtal, in the dreamtime.

"He was a real man too, I knew him when I was younger, he was living at Goobadiya station, where that is now, his name was Wilja, I don’t remember his Kartiya name."
