This is  our country around Wolfe Creek crater.

It has a big Dreamtime Story. A long, long time ago, a star fell down to make Wolfe Creek Crater. It was like a big comet falling from the sky. This happened before Kartiyas (Whites) came and before we were here. We were inside, we weren’t born yet. Then a big rock made a hole in the middle of the crater.

When the sun fell that night, the very first star was born from here - at this crater, Karntimarlarl.

The water milky water there is good for drinking and it also a good hunting place. The old people that lived around there would camp in caves with their camp dogs and hunt for Goanna, Kangaroo, Emu and Bush Turkey.
