He came up from Finke River [down south] and travels all over the area before his family banished him for marrying up a girl. But she's his mother-in-law. That's against our Law.'
Following his banishment, the couple retreated into the desert, Iterrkewarre raging in fury, the girl facing away from him in deep shame. Among the dunes they rested and turned into prominent rocky formations - Iterrkewarre into the Pillar, the girl into Castle Rock. They are trailed by the girl's mother, known as Window Rock..'
