ABOUT EMILY GAP
By Simone


This is about the caterpillars that had a fight.


Left: Emily Gap
There are three different types of caterpillars named Ayeperenye, Ntyarlke and Utnerrengatye. Some came from Mt Zeil, Central Mt Stuart and Finke River and went through Emily Gap. At Emily Gap there lived some Stinky Beetles. They had a fight and the Stinky Beetles bit the caterpillar's heads off. Some of the caterpillars ran away from Emily Gap and went to Alice Springs. Then the caterpillars spread out towards the Todd River. Some pieces of caterpillar were thrown aside at one spot. These made the rocks and trees. Then they sat down and painted themselves for a Ceremony. Irlperenye and Yeperenye have been mortal enemies ever since. The green Stinky Beetles are often seen attacking the juicy caterpillars with great ferocity.
