When Mr Murray was young, he would collect kampurarpa (bush tomatoes) and arnguli (berries). He walked around near Wannan with his ngunytju (mother) named Nyarulya and mama (father) named Ikuta, collecting bush food. They found a rockhole called Wilurunpa, which had a little bit of water. They then went further, collecting kampurarpa, and found another rockhole called Ngatun.
There was much more water there so they stayed there for longer. After that they kept walking to Warburton where Mr. Murray found a wife, Isobelle Maclean and then later moved to Jameson. He now lives in Kalka.
