The two Gilling Gilling ladies put on their headdresses and forehead bands. It's a bead necklace around their necks. The
two circles in the middle are called Lajururru. The two ladies dancing - they taught all sorts of tricks with leg up & down,
arms waving and they get the woman's Bundimi dance. 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.
