Artwork story: This country is called Karlungkutji (Norton Bore). It lies approximately 30 km south of Warmun. In the Ngarrangkarni (Dreaming) there were two kangaroos - the big rock kangaroo and the white-chested kangaroo. The rock kangaroo went to a place called Jack Yard and the white-chested kangaroo went to Karlungkutji, and turned into stone. In the early days people used to rub the stone, and set up a trap for the white-chested kangaroos that would always come by.
