Tjilbruke was an ancestral being of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide plains.
After avenging the murder of his nephew Kulultuwi, Tjilbruke carried Kulultuwi’s partly smoked dried body to Tulukudank, a fresh water spring at Kingston Park, to complete the smoking and then to Rapid Bay for burial in a cave. Along the journey he stopped to rest and overwhelmed by sadness, he wept and his luki (tears) formed the freshwater springs along the coast at Hallett Cove, Port Noarlunga, Red Ochre Cove, Port Willunga, Sellicks Beach and near Wirrina Cove.
This is the first in a series of 10 sites funded by the Jubilee 150 Committee in 1986 to commemorate the Tjilbruke Dreaming Track.
This is an area we have walked through many times, and being our first cache, is an easy find if you are just getting started. Cache contains log and pencil with no room for swaps.
