That man wati Nyiiru was a cheeky man trying to get the big sister to be his wife. The women travelled over much country trying to escape from that man, but he always found them. He was ngangkari so had magical powers. He would transform himself into animals and plants in his efforts to trick the women. This country is Western Australia.
