The area at Wanalirri is where after the mythical battle, the Wandjinas resumed their travels. Wanalirri is where their bodies went back to the earth and finally came to rest. The Wandjinas are immortal mythological spirits. The aboriginals believe that if they are disrespected they will bring the storms and floods and are associated with the rainy season in Australia. |
