In the Dreamtime two Kodjok skin brothers went hunting near Kamarrgawon at a waterfall called Mernemerney, while their mother and father waited at a place called Anbadkayo where they all lived. They hunted a lot of small animals, but then the mother of the animals, Ngalyod, the rainbow serpent came out. They threw spears at her but couldn’t kill her. This made Ngalyod angry, so she ate them as punishment. When you see Burarr (Water Goanna) and Kedjebe (File Snake) at the waterfall today, these are the two kodjok brothers. It is said that Ngalyod still lives at the waterfall and that when you go fishing there you should never take more than five fish, otherwise Ngalyod will become angry. If you see the storm clouds gathering when you’re fishing there, you should pack your bags and go because otherwise Ngalyod will strike you and you might stay there with the two brothers.
