This is my place; I was born here in Tjukaltjara.
Kungkarangkalpa, the Seven Sisters, came through here!
Wati Nyiru he followed them.
They came from the east, from Pirilyi.
Pirilyi to Puyatu to this waterhole here.
That’s Nyiru sitting there!
The women liked Tjukaltjara, a good place to camp.
Let’s build our shelters here.
The older sisters told the younger ones,
make camp over there.
They were worried about the bad man.
So they camped together, close together.
Nyiru circled around them and hid.
He heard them laughing and talking.
Telling funny stories.
He was sitting there looking at them.
That’s him!
He's really happy thinking, 'They’re all looking at me!'
'Those beautiful women all looking at me!'
Poor thing!
Uncle, the women ran through here.
Frightened they ran away.
Secretly they made their way to Kuru Ala.
Nyiru lusted for the older sister.
But they were frightened of him!
They kept well away.
At Kuru Ala his phallic form slithered down ...
into the waterhole.
The women thought it was a carpet snake.
Good eating! So they grabbed it.
Holding tightly they carried it away.
Nyiru waited to get close and grab it back!
But before Nyiru could catch them ...
they threw it away and it flew off!
They danced for joy, it was gone!
Nyiru followed it.
The women watched it fly into the west.
They saw it go down at Kulyuru.
Nyiru’s aunty’s place.
It flew like a shimmering snake to the horizon.
