Community: Irrunytju

Manjatjara was his mother's country, the two water snake men (wati kutjarra) were a father and son, they were camping near Manjatjara. The father left the son at the rockhole to grow up. The people there were cruel to him because he looked strange. The father became angry and came back to get his son. When the son was a man, he went back to kill everyone at the rockhole and ate them. Only one person escaped. The snake slithered away to a rock hole, but he was too full and vomited blood, fat and hair. The one who escaped speared the snake and he split open.
