$1,200.00
Minyma Kutjara (Two Sisters) were sitting down telling stories at Mitutu, the two salt lakes east of Wingellina. The Two Sisters had travelled from Wingellina and were now resting at Mitutu. While they were telling stories, they spied a Wati (Man) creeping around, hiding behind the bushes watching them. When the Minyma Kutjara first saw the Wati, they were frightened and huddled together. Then the women got up, they started dancing, and took off to Docker River.
