STORY
Wandjina has watered the earth. The rivers, pools, waterfalls and creeks are teaming with wildlife. Birds and animals frequently visit these places. The water comes to life with fishes, turtles and fresh water crocodiles swimming by. The Kira Kiro are happy spirits that assist the Wandjina in looking after the land. Their feet are like witches feet, they never touch the ground. They are warriors who like to do traditional dances about the journey they have been on and the day's hunt.
