A rainbow snake travelled from Gimoorl country and created a river going towards Woombanji country (Jamanjoong). There he met up with two sisters and asked the old man if one of the sister was his promised wife, but he refused. He kept both the sisters as his wives he than held them down in the water and then he sunbathe them. He saw a honey sucker and asked him for tucker for us but he didn’t listen he flew away (the honeysucker) the honeysucker dived in the water and had his own food. The old man asked him again but ignored them. He then saw two brolgas and asked them to empty the river with the coolamans They did that then the honey sucker came back he dived straight in the river but there was no water and he hit the bottom. He wondered where all the water had gone, But the two brolgas took all the water from the river and flying around on top in two coolaman the honeysucker then saw a frog in the dry creek bed. He told the frog the brolgas took all the water away from the river in both coolamans he then made a spear and speared both. The coolaman and the waters both poured down and filled the riverbed with water again. There was a small bat hanging around he the old man there with his two wives he followed them back to Gimoorl where they stayed in a cave. As the old man and his wives where asleep the bat made a spear and speared the old man and the two wives fled back upstream and formed into two hills the hills stand there today.
