Murtangkala The Creator Of Tiwi Island, 2022
$1,408.00
Long ago there were no people or animals on the earth – only darkness. Below the earth there was a large cave where there were people who roamed about in darkness. Between the earth and cave there was a valley and hills. Among these people there lived one old women, Murtankala. One day she dug her way out from the cave and surfaced to the earth. Murtankala began to crawl around the earth. When she crawled along she made a large hole behind her and the sea water began to rush in behind her back. She crawled on and on and after a long time she returned to where she started and so she created two islands, Bathurst Island and Melville Island; the Tiwi Islands.
