How did Wabbee, the freshwater crayfish, get its bright red spots? Why does Wehla, the ringtail possum, have a curly tail? How were Waripi Yaluk, the backwaters of Bulatjal Yaluk Woodlar, the Loddon River, formed? Why does Yern, the moon, light up the night sky? Bunjil, the all-powerful, knows the answers. 'BurWhela' Ros Kneebone-Dodson learned these kiki these stories of Malamiyayu Gurang, the Dreamtime from her mother, Mooie.
