Myra Yurtiwa Cook was born at a special place called Kartjinguku - a creek situated near the town of Warakurna, WA.
"There was a warnampi wati (Water Snake Man) from Pukura. He had to travel to the Lirrun where the lira yarnangu (Snake People) lived, to ask for help. His son was wounded and very sick. He travelled a really long way to get some special medicine for his son. The Snake People were going to travel back to Pukarra with the warnampi man to help him and his son but a young man made a mess."
