Tjilbruke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An important character in the Kaurna Aboriginal creation story, Tjilbruke (also Tjirbruki) carried the body of his nephew down the Fleurieu Peninsula coast of Gulf Saint Vincent, after his nephew was killed after hunting and killing a female Emu. The path Tjilbruke took along the coast is referred to as "Tjilbruke's Trail" and begins at Warriparinga by the Sturt Creek in the now metropolitan suburb of Marion, South Australia and ends at the southern town of Rapid Bay, South Australia.
The trail is marked by a series of natural springs that can be found all along the coast, starting at Kingston Park and continuing south along the cost to Rapid Bay. The story of Tjilbruke tells that on every night of his journey Tjilbruke would cry over his nephew's body and his tears became a spring.
