Kunamata, this is myngura (homeland). There is karu pulka (big creek) that runs from the apu (rocky hills). Itjulu is on the other side and apu tjuta (rocky hills) everywhere with different manta (ground) and different punu (trees). The snake is panakura (desert death adder). Each days he ventures out to the cave and paints sacred designs on the cave walls, before returning home again. His home is in the sand hills close to Kunamata.
