Adnoartina

Adno-artina appears in the stories of the Diyari people (Indigenous Australians based near Lake Eyre) as a gecko who fought the dog Marindi. According to one of the myths, during the fight Marindi's blood fell on rocks and dyed them red - the source of the ochre quarried at Pukardu Hill (Parachilna).[1]
