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.
