Kunga kutjarra (two women) were travelling from a long way. When those women got to Piltati they said "ngura wiru" (good place, good camp). Those women saw the apu (rocky outcrop) and saw the red walka (painting) inside kulpi (cave). They looked around some more and saw kapi kurungka unyanyutjara ngaripai (water lying in a creekbed with green algae on it) and decided they would stay at Piltati, ngura wiru (good place)."
