Still at the Breakaway Conservation Park, 35 kms north of Coober Pedy.
According to the legend of the local Antakirinja Mutuntjarra tribe, this unique landform is known as Papa or two dogs. To the traditional people, it is two dogs sitting down, a white one and a brown one. To non-aboriginal people, it is called The Castle or Salt and Pepper.
Even though they are joined, the difference in the colouring of the two hills has been caused by different rates of weathering and erosion. The white hill has weathered faster than the brown hill.
Eye-catching landscape features for sure. Thanks for sharing the origins of the various names these landforms are known as. That sort of stuff is always interesting to me.
