Acrylic on Galacia linen 540 x 570mm SOLD
Two Gilling Gilling are doing the Wulungun dancing. This is the Wunga dance that is danced to the
didgeridoo. They have the Gumulan headdress, both are wearing the forehead band with red in the middle. One
elbow down, hand up, hand all way down and knee up and feet down. The Gilling Gilling are all at Victoria
River in Wardaman country in the caves. They still live in the caves today and they come out at night time and
make a lot of noise. They're downstream from the pub and bridge at Victoria River. There's lots of white paint
on the walls of those caves and in the Creation time they're dancing and doing all sorts of tricks.
