Artwork story: This is a Dreamtime story about the two brothers. They traveled every place from south to north and they sang and danced as they traveled and made the law for the country, for example, the places we can go to and what animals we can eat.
The brothers were very handsome and they named the area in the north near the Holroyd River "Ngakayenka". It's the law not to go near because it's a sacred ground. When the young people are about 13 or 14 years old, they can go there with their Elders and stay for along time, so they can learn about the law. - Doris Ned
