Kangaroo Rock at Norton Bore. 

This is the kangaroo rock at Norton Bore. Old people would rub this rock when they wanted to go hunting and kangaroos would come out at Violet Valley and Norton Bore. If you go there now, you'll see all of the kangaroos s????til around these places, all kinds of kangaroos, red kangaroos, ones with white chests.

These are two shelters made out of trees and leaves, when the old people were hunting they would hide in these shelters with their spears and when the kangaroos came they would spear them for feed.

Young boy looking for sugar bag- Gilban 'Elephant Hill' & the Caves. This is the painting about that little boy going up behind Gilban Hill to find sugar bag. Where Mabel Down Creek running down 'All my elders were out looking for ground sugar bag near the Mabel Down Hill, they been looking all day they were all weak and tired from digging in the ant hills looking for this ground sugar bag. They told one young boy who was in the group with them to climb up and look around where the fat anthills (termite mounds) are that may have the ground sugar bag.

He climbed up Mabel Down Hill, he said nothing here in the middle where we been looking, only sunrise side and sunset side the young boy said. On his way back down the hill he turned into a rock dreaming that's him on the top of this hill.

In the other side of the Hill there are also caves and important burial sites for my old people, and another dreamtime story behind that hill about a lizard called Gilban.

Eagle and Crow Dreaming

This is the main story for Warrmun (meaning “a place to camp”). This story took place just behind the present day Warmun Community. In the Ngarrangkarni (Dreamtime) both the eagle and the crow were people. The Eaglehawk and his wife the crow were sittong either side of a patch of white rock (quartz). The Eaglehawk was busy making spearheads from the hard quartz and asked the crow to help. Eaglehawk was ready to hunt for kangaroo.

First he built up a fire of hot rocks so that they would have somewhere to cook the kangaroo. Eaglehawk asked the crow again, but she refused. Eaglehawk went out hunting and came back with a small, fat, girl kangaroo. When he got back to the camp, Crow was asleep. In anger the Eaglehawk threw a piece of quartz rock at the crow, striking her in the eye, and took the hot rocks from the fire and burnt the crow all over for being so lazy.

They both turned into birds, and that is why crows are black with a white circle around their eyes. In the hill behind Warmun you can still see the white quartz camp of the eagle and the crow.
