Nganamara is the Mallee Fowl bird. This bird is chasing walawuru, the wedge-tail eagle, from Ukantu, otherside of Watarru, South Australia to Pirulyuka, west of Pukara in Wester Australia. Nganamara lays nine ngampu, eggs, at Pirulyuka and one on the way there. This story goes a long way from near Karlgoolie. "Ngayuku tjamuku ngura", my grandfather's country.
