This is Nyuman a sacred place in the north of the Spinifex claim area. Here holds the Tjukurpa (creation story) for the Walawuru Eagle Man, symbolised by the large trees at the site where the eagles nest. The Two Men from Pukura also pass through here symbolised by the lines. This is a father and son wanampi (water serpents) travelling from Pukara to many sites in this region. The circles represent small rockholes where the water can be found.
