Bookarrakarra. gave life to this country and all meaning about plants, animals, all that’s in the ground, tucker, and very importantly gave us our skin groups. That’s when Woonyoomboo came, our main creator. He made all these animals, humans and trees, giving life to the country. They were ancestral people, then they became animals, then we came out of the spirit, out of animals. This is going back to when the ground was wet, soft.” - John Watson
