"That's that lizard, ey. That one with the big eyes. That Lizard's Country. That tree, they call it that lizard. He played around too much and his tail broke off, and made that tree. I don't konw what white fellas call him, but that tree is the lizard. All my mob call him in Alyawarr and Kaytetye alurre. Thats that big eye lizard. 

Thats just straight out South from Jarra Jarra. Thats where that lizard stays. Its not a secret one that story. All the people used to camp around there. Those rocks they're the same as up at Karlu Karlu, the devil's marbles. Same rocks."
