He burst through the crust that had covered him; and the gaping hole that he left behind became the Ilbalintja Soak, filled with the sweet dark juice of the honeysuckle buds.
Er brach durch die Kruste, die ihn bedeckt hatte, und das offene Loch, das er hinter sich ließ, wurde zum Tümpel von Ilbalintja und füllte sich mit dem dunklen, süßen Saft der Geißblattknospen.

The walls looked as if someone had piled up a number of stones in a hurry, the roof had collapsed, and where there must once have been a door only a black hole now gaped.
Die Mauern sahen aus, als hätte jemand eilig ein paar Steine aufgeschichtet, das Dach war eingestürzt und dort, wo früher eine Tür gehangen hatte, gähnte ein schwarzes Loch.
