Nyumannu is a Dingo Tjukurrpa [Dreaming] site south east of Kintore. Most of the Ancestral Dingoes and their pups from this place rose up into the sky and became stars. However the Ancestral Mother Dingo and her pup had gone out hunting and were too tired to rise up into the sky, so they turned into a large rock that marks the place of this sacred Tjukurrpa. A person sleeping in this place will dream of the Ancestral Dingo Pups. This site belongs to Doris's mother.
