Older men Gilling Gilling - both had 2 Gumondunga headdress and forehead band. They're dancing the
Goojinga dance about the songline trail and they taught the little Gilling Gilling people. One hand up, elbow up,
hand down, touching face, touching headdress and legs. Two knees out and feet together - dancing a big
Goojinga song - big songline trail. They are Goojinga people. 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.
