Definition/Cultural Note
- Ngarna is central to a major Dreaming trail.- versions of the Dreaming differ. Recent versions as told by K.OLoughlin, G.Elphick and others agree that Ngarna was a little man (an Ilara) and was killed by Buthera, while Egginton/Tindales version says that Ngarna killed Buthera. There are also disagreements about the locations of events.- some say that there is a womens story and a mens story, which may explain the differences.- there is some confusion in tourism brochures etc. about where this place is - they tend to locate Ngarna at both Rhino Head and Royston Head.
