Description

Jindalee’s footprints come back on land at Jennalup meaning place of the foot (Blackwall Reach). Her footprint created the deepest part of the river. It was the place where one of the Spirit Children grasped onto her hair with long fingernails, snapping off her hair and it fell to the earth, this has become closely associated with Lake Joondalup. Jennalup was traditionally a place for woman. When boys were undergoing a ritual test for manhood, they needed to jump off the Reach, catch a fish and present it to their women folk waiting by the spit at what is now Point Walter.
