ABORIGINAL TRIBES OF NEW SOUTH WALES AND VICTORIA. 341 



on the rock are believed to have been caused by Baiame 

 laying down his magical weapons and other articles of his 

 equipment at different places upon it, the impressions of 

 which cannot be effaced. 



About half a chain north-easterly from the rock-hole is a 

 natural depression in which sand and drifted soil collect. 

 This is supposed to have been the hole in which Baiame 

 cooked his game and other articles of diet. S. 45° E. from 

 the cooking-hole, and thirty-five links distant, is a very 

 good figure of a bullroarer (muddhiga), eighteen inches 

 long and nine inches across the widest part. Continuing 

 the same south-east bearing for a farther distance of 140 

 links brings us to the imprint of a prodigious fighting club, 

 six and a half feet in length by nine inches wide, called 

 dhurtubirra. Starting from this club and going south for 

 two hundred and fifteen links we come to a figure which 

 has some resemblance to a monstrous boomerang, nine feet 

 and a quarter long by eighteen inches in width. Again 

 starting from the dhiirtubirra or club on a bearing of S. 40° W. 

 we find another boomerang-like formation, two feet nine 

 inches long and nine inches wide. 



Close to rock-hole wuggarbuggarnea, is a narrow, coloured 

 streak, trending in a westerly direction for several yards, 

 which is said to be one of Baiame 's spears. On a bearing of 

 N. 25° W., from the rock-hole, at the distance of 25 links is 

 a gululla or native bag carried by the men, three feet long, 

 with a string attached for swinging it over the shoulder. 



On another portion of the rock is a tolerably good repre- 

 sentation of a human footmark, two feet long and nine 

 inches across the widest part. It is the right foot, and has 

 five toes, the great-toe being about twice the length of 

 the others. 



Here and there at wide intervals on the rock surface are 

 grooves worn by the actual grinding or sharpening of stone
