"This is all the area around Nyapari. There is tjukurpa Tjuta (many creation stories). There is Kuka Mamu (meat that is infused with spirit from creation time) and Piltati where those two wanampis (water serpents who have the power to change form) live and there is Wati Ngintaka (perentie man) who travelled through here. All this Tjurkurpa is for Nyapari."
