In the Western Desert Dreamtime, Kidili relentlessly pursued the Kungkarangkalpa across the landscape. The sisters fled his unwanted advances until he was punished and became the moon, while they escaped into the sky as the Pleiades.
As the Kungkarangkalpa fled across the Western Desert, they plunged their digging sticks into the earth to release water, creating billabongs and rock holes that sustained them on their flight from Kidili.
The Kungkarangkalpa created one of the longest songlines on the continent as they fled across the Western Desert, their journey tracing a dreaming track from Martu country through the Gibson Desert to the coast of South Australia.
