Gendered roles in Manankurra

Both men and women can move freely in the country at Manankurra. There are a few places where very important ceremonies were held and people, both men and women, are still reluctant to go there. In the past, both men and women worked on the salt-pans gathering salt. Many of the a-kurija and walaba (fun songs) still sung by Yanyuwa women today were composed at Manankurra.
