Stirling and Waite— Description of Toas 151 



284. KIDAKIDAWULUNI (Ngamani Tribe). To the place where two 

 waterbags were made. The stem of the Toa represents a plain crossed by 

 watercourses (red bands). Here the Muramura, Pirnaworankana, killed two 

 wild dogs and made their skins into waterbags. These he placed close together, 

 and from them arose two hills, which are represented by the two knobs at the 

 head of the Toa. 



2S5. KADIPALPURANI (Wonkanguru Tribe). To the place where 

 the watercourses cross. The head of the Toa represents a lake bed in whicii 

 two watercourses (red stripes) cross. So named by the Muramura, Kurkarli. 



286. TULANI (Ngamani Tribe). To the stone chisel. So named 

 because, here at a lake, the Muramura, Piridakana, once threw away his stone 

 chisel. The red band denotes the lake, and a representation of the chisel is 

 inserted in the head of the Tua. 



287. NGAPATIRIPOTUNI (Diari Tribe). To where the down feathers 

 iU>at on the water. The knob represents a waterhole, and the red stripes 

 deposits on the banks, and in accord with the name, down feathers are affixed. 

 Coming, once, to this waterhole and seeing feathers floating, the Muramura, 

 Kirlawilina, so named it. 



288. MILKIWILPANI. To the place of the eye cavity (orbit). The 

 two Muramuras, Kalkuwulana, coming, once, to a plain and seeing a hollow 

 in a tree, said to one another, "it looks like the cavity of an eye," and so they' 

 named it. The knob represents the tree, and the red ring the hole in the tree. 



289. WALYUTALANI (Diari Tribe). To the place where they quar- 

 relled about the boundary. So named because, here, the Muramura, Kuya- 

 mokuna, and his uncle had a dispute about their respective boundaries. The 

 head of the Toa represents a hill bestrewn with stones (red spots). 



290. WARILILANANI (Tirari Tribe). Meaning, "straight forward." 

 So named because the Muramura, Patjalina, once noticed how, in the lower 

 part of its course, Cooper's Creek takes a straight course. The black band 

 denotes a waterhole in the creek and the white dots, above and below it, gum 

 trees on the banks. The knob indicates a sandhill which is overgrown with 

 bushes (red spots). The Toa thus means, to the waterhole in the Cooper where 

 it takes a straight course. 



291. MANATAULAWULUNI (Diari Tribe). To the two wild ducks. 

 The white part of the Toa represents a plateau shaped like a duck's head 

 which the Muramura, Kirlawilina, discovered, and on hearing a pair of ducks 

 'i'lacking there he gave the above name. The Toa represents a duck's head 

 with C'pened beak.
