Kalaya tjuta nguranka, Tjipil (many emus have their home at this place called Tjipil). All the emus travelled down and did Inma (sacred singing and dancing) on the way. They did Inma in a circle to make the tali (sandhill) then they went on to live at Tjipil. One mamu animal (evil spirit in the form of some animal) was following all the emus and that mamu went to Tjipil and snuck up and scared the emus into running.
