RED BUTTE

‘This Red Butte, this red one,’ Churchill Cann says. The brown shape below Red Butte is Wangkarnaban, Crow Spring. To the left of Crow Spring is Cockatoo Spring. The black shape at the top is the water of Cockatoo Spring. Cann tells an Ngarrangkarni (Dreaming) story from this country. ‘That’s where that girl bin jump right up la that side now, to Auvergne, She bin make a man there Dugurrun Nyinyi. He bin lock ‘im up la hole, he bin run away, find him two brother bla him and that two brother bin tell ‘im “climb up that long one bardigi tree come up here, come up here,’ That girl bin listening, they killed her with a spear.’ A woman made a small man out of her teeth. The little man came to life and shut the woman in a cave and ran off. He came across his two brothers who told him to climb a tree to escape the woman who was coming after him with a pointed stick. Before she could get close enough to spear the man, the two boys killed her.
