Ngayuku mitaku ngurangka (this is my country from my husband) a place called Cave Hill.   Cave Hill is an important site for the Seven Sisters dreaming story.  The sisters were running away from Wati Nyiru (the cheeky man), they hid in the cave there and the big sister used her wana (digging stick) to make a hole to escape through the back of the cave.

Cave Hill ta tjukurla tjuta ngaranyi.  There is a lot of water here too, many rockholes and connecting creeks and water courses.  It’s a precious place.

My husband Billynya and I travelled on a camel from the mission in Ernabella to Cave Hill.
