This is the story of the older sister going a long way to get her younger sister and bring her back. They went through many
places on the way, but I will only talk about a short bit of their journey at Wingellina. Two women who both came from
up north and stayed a while. They both could see that Docker River was close.
And as they were sitting there they performed ceremony, Inma. After they both threw away their weapons, they threw them
away. Their head-rings, they threw away their head-rings. Then they got up and left. They went to another place, a hollow
called Kantarangkutjara and then they travelled on to Docker River. The story of their travels after Docker River belongs to
the Docker River people and others in distant country. My part of the story is short.
