Label Text:The rockhole site of Karrilwarra has a Dreaming that relates to the journey of two kuniya (python) ancestors who travelled there from far in the east. When the snakes reached Karrilwarra, they dug into the ground and created the rockholes and soakage waters that still remain at the site.
During ancestral times, a large group of women also travelled to Karrilwarra and camped in the same area before continuing their travels further east to the site of Marrapinti, and later northeast to Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). While at Karrilwarra the women dug for the edible tubers known as yunala from the bush banana vine.
