This ancient story relates events on Darrajayin country in the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming). An old old woman had called for her dog (marranyji, an old wild dingo) who had chased a kangaroo (jiyirriny) across the country, following the kangaroo into a cave. That old woman followed the dog and called the dog, but the kangaroo grabbed the dog and kept him from going to
the woman who tried to find her dog, to no avail. Today the woman can be seen as a stone figure standing up with her stick on top of the hill - the dog and the kangaroo are the two circles and the cave is the longer oblong shape below them.
