Reproduced here is the story of the two Ngatyi, Rainbow Serpents, who travelled from the Paroo to the Flinders Ranges and back as far as Yancannia Creek, where their deep underground channels linked them back to the Paroo. Jeremy Beckett recorded these stories from George Dutton and Alf Barlow in 1957. Luise Hercus, who has worked on the languages in the area for many years, has collaborated with Jeremy Beckett to analyse the names and identify the places.Aboriginal history monographs ;18.Rainbow serpentAboriginal AustraliansReligionRainbow serpent.Aboriginal AustraliansReligion.398.20899915Beckett Jeremy1931-801611Hercus L.
