Ngura-wordu-punnuna is a muramura of the Diyari whose legend, collected by the missionary Otto Siebert at Killalpaninna and published by A. W. Howitt, is set at Pando (Lake Hope) in the heart of Diyari country. He lived there on the rats and mice that swarmed in good seasons, sewing their skins into water-bags, and in the story he overcomes a strange beast that addresses him before he can strike, afterwards taking its great hide for the largest of his bags. When the west wind blew he wandered on, resting when it shifted, and at his resting-places kadimarkara — the monstrous creatures of Lake Eyre lore, whose 'bones' the Diyari recognised in the fossil beds of the region — arose along his track; at one place two kadimarkara hid in their burrows for fear of him, and at another two of them blocked his way. Laden with his filled water-bags, he came at last to Yulku-kudana, stretched out his neck to look back toward his camp at Pando, and sank down into the earth, ending his journey in the manner of the muramura, who remain in the land at the places where they went down.
