This is Yulantja, a clay pan not far from Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). This is Marietta’s father’s country. There is one hill near this place. 

“We went on the helicopter to Yulantja. It is a story about all the dogs crying out. Two of the dogs have a maparn, a stone that gives them maparn (healing). The dogs were crying and growling all the different tribes and people that came that way. The people were coming into the claypan and the dogs were growling them.”
