Product Description
Everything was dry, no water anywhere. The ancestral spirit beings called Emu Men, were sitting down at Walukurritje Rock Hole which lies about half-way between Lake Mackay and Lake McDonald near the border between The Northern Territory and Western Australia. The Men were crying because there was no water to drink. They were saying give us water to drink we are thirsty for water, just then four Tingari Men came along and saw there plight. One of them hurled his spear into the sky and it pierced a cloud which lay overhead.
Rain came pouring down and filled the dry rock hole with water. The Emu Men drank some water and they sang and danced around feeling really happy now.
