Tjukula tjuta (many waterholes), this is the Wanampi’s ngura (water-snake’s home).They are dangerous snakes; you can’t go near the Wanampi. There is a male and female Wanampi. The Wanampi have water all around them, always surrounded by water. The green water is everywhere. Punu tjuta (many trees)again. His home is in the sand hills close to Kunamata.
