An ancestral being of the Kaurna people, Tjilbruki found that a kari (emu) which rightfully belonged to him had been killed by his nephew Kulutuwi.Although forgiven by his uncle, Kulutuwi was killed by his two part brothers, believing that he had broken the law.inally, in his sorrow Tjilbruke decided to leave the world of humanity. His spirit took the form of a bird, the Glossy Ibis. Being a master of fire-making, his body became a rocky outcrop at a place of hidden fire near Brukunga in the Adelaide Hills.
