So, if you go to this part of land you have got to be quiet and no making noise or swearing.  And the story goes you've got to be very quiet when traveling through Boorwa Hill. But when you go through there you gotta take the owners of the Country because they speak the language of the Unseen People. And another thing, you will get lost maybe for nights or days.
