Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Sisters creation story). when the little sister was very small she was blown by a big wind far to the south, to another country, where the people spoke another language and had different Inma (ceremonies). Many years later the big sister heard where her sister was and went to bring her back home. They travelled together for many days. The little sister was frightened and crying "I dont want to go on. I want to go back" she wailed. The elder sister taught her ceremonial knowledge as they travelled through the desert. Close to Irrunytju the sisters made hair belts for Inma (ceremonial song and dance). From there the big sister threw her digging stick and made the rock hole Wani Wani.
