This work shows country near Mulan Community at Lake Gregory where in the dreaming when everything was a man, the Flying Fox was travelling and became thirsty as he flew over the desert. He saw the lake and landed to drink but the lake was saltwater. He tried to take off again but couldn't go far and fell to earth and stopped, forming a big depression in the landscape.
