This is Goguk the pigeon who calls to announce the arrival of the Shark. The Djapu clan outstation at Wandawuy (and spiritual residence for Ancestral Beings Mäna the Shark and Bol’ngu the Thunderman) is surrounded by permanent freshwater. Rains inspired by the actions of Bol’ngu feed the rivers and fill the billabongs. Catfish and mussels, freshwater crayfish and others feed the Yolngu and wild life. The waters are home for the shark Mäna.
