Wolfe Creek Crater or 'Gandimalal', as seen by our indigenous Australians:
Jaru and Walmajarri Aboriginal people call the crater Gandimalal and have known of its existence for thousands of years.
A Jaru story tells of two rainbow snakes moving across the land to form Jurambalarn (Sturt Creek) and Ngurriny (Wolfe Creek). Gandimalal is the place where one of the snakes came out of the ground.
A Walmajarri story tells of a rainbow snake named Karlputa who came to Gandimalal from Bidyadanga (La Grange) on the coast south of Broome. The crater rim is where Karlputa has pushed up the ground. The central area of the crater is salty because Karlputa came from the sea. Karlputa still lies under the crater. |
