This Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) is Warlu country, Juli’s father's country. This area is now known as Springvale Station and is located south west of Warmun Community. This country is known for its hilly terrain and the abundance of waterholes and natural springs.Mabel says ‘Old man make Jimbola. Water comes over to help make the Jimbola.’ Murrap Njianji Karran Karranyi (the rock) hides the Mangunji (the tree) and crushes the rocks to make soap, to kill the Kurntarri (fish) in the creek for food.
