A Ngadjuri boomerang dreaming story:
When the world was young, the light was
brought by a great fire on which Bila, the sun cannibal woman cooked
her humans victims. At this time, Knudu the lizard man, who was very
good at throwing boomerang, and Muda the gecko man, went to visit their
neighbour the euro-people. But they discovered that the euro people had
been killed by the dogs of the sun woman and brought back to her camp.
Furious against this bloody act, the lizard man decided to kill Bila to
seek revenge.
When the sun woman saw Knudu coming, she screamed in rage. She draw a
boomerang from her belt to throw at him but she was too slow. Before
she could throw her weapon, Knudu's boomerang had injured her so badly,
that she transforms herself in a ball of fire and disappears behind the
horizon, leaving the world in complete darkness.
The lizards were scared by the calamity they
have been doing, but Knudu decide to use his boomerangs to try to make
coming back the light. He throw one to the Nord, but the darkness
stayed. He throw two other, one to the West and the other to the South
but nothing change. But when he threw a boomernag to the East, the
lizards saw a great ball of fire rising and travelling slowly through
the sky and disappearing behing the West horizon, creating the day and
the night.
After
that, no Aboriginal people in the Flinders ranges wanted to kill a
goanna or a gecko. They said that these animals had saved humanity from
destruction and created the day and night: the day to gather food and
the night to rest and sleep.
