ENQUIRE

Tjakura is in the tali (sandhill) country on the East side of Patjarr. Lunkarta (Blue Toung Lizard) and Tjakura (great desert skink) had a big fight there and killed each other. They are buried there under the sand. This country belongs to Manupa from her mother, father, uncles, aunties, grandmother and grandfather.
