Bill Harney Gilling Gilling 2008
Acrylic on Galacia linen 540 x 570mm $650
Old Muluru Gilling Gilling. She has the Gumungunga headdress, forehead band with red line in middle, bead
necklace, making sound with her legs called Burungburung - like clapping hands but with legs. She's doing the
Bundimi dance and teaching young ones. 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.
