Kalaya Tjukurpa - Emu Dreaming
This is Carlene's country near Watarru in the southern APY Lands - it is also the country of the emu, meaning the emu or kalaya is the creation being that formed the land of this country. When speaking about this country, Carlene speaks of three places of significance for her family - Tipil, Iyurru and Mount Punti - these places are all part of the kalaya tjukurpa.
