Two water snakes (really men) were trying to pass through the Piuyl Mountains, near Warburton. They threw a magic
boomerang that broke the mountain in two. They then traveled down the back way to Pukara (a large water soak). When
they got there the son was sick and said – only animals can drink at this water hole – but later the father allowed people to
drink there too. They are still there today.
