Goorrarnda-warriny doo Joorndam Two Brolgas and Bush Onions relates the story of two ancestral Brolga Women whose favourite food was bush onions. Their husband, the Frill Neck Lizard had hidden water from them. Finding his secret water source, the sisters scooped the water up in their coolamons and flew the water-filled vessels up into the sky. Their husband gave chase, throwing a spear that hit the coolamons, spilling the water and bringing it back to earth.
