Notes

"About fifteen miles to the east of Henbury, on the Finke River, is a spot called by the natives Undiara. Here, at the base of a steep quartzite ridge, which runs east and west, and forms part of what is now called Chandler's Range, there lies under the shelter of a gum tree a small water-hole, which has ever since the far away times of the Alcheringa been associated with the members of the Okira or kangaroo totem (NTCA 1968: 193) Also known as ‘Antiarra’ see Horn Expedition p.188 Plate I. Waterhole and/or cave on Finke River. Inteera, Southern Arrernte kangaroo centre (Strehlow 1971:279) Current Orthography: Inteyrre
