This is Wati Nyiru, a man named 'Nyiru' , who is watching the seven sisters up on the hill near Wyalla, other side of Port Augusta. He watches them go into the cave but the ladies go through the cave and out the other side. Wati Nyiru sleeps and comes back to find that they have gone. He travels to Broken Hill and comes back to Nyiputana looking for them. He then sits down and sees the smoke from that 'kungka mob', group of girls.
This story travels all across Australia and Harry identifies strongly with this man.
