itingka, ka paluṟu ngaṟangi puṉungka unngu alatjiṯu.

   Using their digging sticks, they made small openings so he could see and drink some water. As night fell he told them, 'It's alright, you two should leave me here." But weeping and crying, they lay down by his side and there he stood, as stuck as ever inside the tree.

   Tjiṉṯu pakanyangka paluṟu pula miitarara anu ka paluṟu puṉu uḻṯungka unngutiṯu anangi  inkanyangka. Pula kuka pungkula ngalkuṟa anangi. Pula kuliningi, `Nganalu walatjunkuku ngalimpa miita?' Ka ankula nguriningi. Ankula ankula nyangu Aṉangu tjuṯa ka ngankaṟi kutjupa nyinangi palu paluru putu kuliningi. Palulanguṟu ngangkaṟi puḻka kutjupa pakara ngalya pitjangu munu pulkara wakaṟa walatjunu. Wati panya paluṟu mantangka punkaṉu, nyuku nyuku ngaḻṯutjara mulapa.

   When the sun came up he and his two wives set off, with him still inside the hollow log and singing again as they went. The two women hunted and ate along the way and they were thinking, 'Who can free our husband?' And so they kept on going in search of help. Eventually they reached a camp of people but the
   healer there wasn't able to do anything. Then another, more powerful healer got up, came over and flung all his power at the log, striking it open. The man inside fell to the ground, wasted away in a pitiful state.

   This story is an analogy of how Aṉangu are moving forward into the future. The young people are stuck in the tree and the older generation are trying to break them free. Like the wives they are crying in despair for the young. The two women reached their goal to break their husband free and Aṉangu must reach our goal to break young people free and to assist them to keep their culture strong.
Protecting significant sites and species

   There may be varying perceptions of the significance and value of cultural sites among Aṉangu, park staff, stakeholders and visitors. Some sites have obvious cultural significance, such as rock art sites, but many other places have importance to Aṉangu which may appear insignificant to other people. Aṉangu want
   to ensure that all significant sites and species within the park are recorded, maintained and protected from threats.

   There are many threats that could impact significant sites. Fire can have severe impacts, particularly when there is a build-up of vegetation or weeds close to cultural sites (see the Fire management section below). Wasps and termites can damage rock art by building nests and tunnels over rock faces, and water flowing over or seeping through rocks may also cause damage to images. Introduced animals such as camels
   can disturb or damage waterholes, and introduced weeds can overcome native plants and result in loss of
