Label TextThere is a rockhole at Tiintjintjin, west of Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald), situated near a very deep cave. In Ancestral times a large group of Ancestral Beings called the Tingari men followed the tracks of an old Ancestral woman who had travelled to Tjintjintjin from the southeast to this site. The woman went into the rockhole, where she dug into the ground. Once inside the rockhole she travelled underground towards the east, resurfacing at a site called Muruntji, or Browns Bore, west of Haasts Bluff. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given.Exhibition History
