PUKARA
This is a story about kaliny-kalinypa (Honey Grevillea plant), which Anangu use as a type of bush lolly.
A father and son, Wati Kutjara Wanampi (two male water snakes), live at Pukara, an important waterhole site near Irrunytju (Wingellina). Because of the kaliny-kalinypa found at the site, the water there has a sweet taste, and many people go there to access the water. But the father, Wati Wanampi, does not like this and tells them to go back to their own country.
The people leave, and the father and son travel to Willuna, where they camp for weeks. When they return to Pukara, they are awoken by a buzzing sound. Minyma Punpunpa (the female flies) are making lots of noise as they buzz around the honey bush. This prompts the father and son to get up and collect honey.
While they are doing this, a Wati Mututa (black ant) finds them and spears the son in his side. The young son starts spitting, and he spits out the yellow and orange seeds of all the different types of honey grevillea.
