Both Brolgas in the dreamtime helped the Wandjina by pounding their feet to make a flood and drown the people because the children hurt Dumbi the Owl, Wandjina's favourite pet. Now the flood has resided it is just a small pond. The Brolgas are also assistants to the Wandjina. Betty Bundamurra was born at Karunji station where her father was a stockman. She was born in the bush while her parents were on a walkabout. At the age of three, after the death of her mother, Betty came to Kalumburu Mission Convent where she was looked after by Ignatia Ganwalla and the nuns. She worked in the mission baking bread and at the Kalumburu school as a teaching aid. Betty has five children and eleven grandchildren, and lives happily with her family in Kalumburu. Betty is a prolific artist and has also held the position as an arts worker at Kira Kiro Art Centre, Kalumburu, from 2012 to 2019. She is a graduate of the ANKA Arts- worker Extension Program and the Art Gallery of Western Australia's Desert River Sea Visual Arts Leadership program.
