There is a Dreamtime story that belongs to the "Akatyerre" for Elsie and the people of "Atoola" (Bushy Park) country. Ceremonies are performed to demonstrate admiration of “Akatyerre” and "Katyerre" plants and to maintain the plants existence as well as to continue showing the respect for the story. This practice is not as habitual now.
