This is the country for Malilu, who is a creation being from the Tjukurpa (Dreamtime). Minyma Malilu nyinanyi wana ngka munu piti (the woman Malilu is sitting with her digging stick and collecting bowl). She has been dancing, performing Inma (important ceremonial dancing) for this country and she has left her dancing tracks behind in the sand.
Malilu was a crippled woman and her two daughters had ran off to get married, leaving her to fend for herself. It was difficult for her to collect bush foods and water because she had to drag her leg as she walked. Through much effort, she collected kampurarpa, wiriny-wirinypa, tawalpa munu mai kutjupa-kutjupa (desert rasins, bush tomatoes, berries and many different kinds of wild foods).
