Wunbula the Bat and his two wives, Murrumbool the Brown Snake and Moontha the Black Snake went from Columbti, passed Collijaga, to Monga, set up camp and went looking for wombats. When they found a burrow Wunbula and his dog crawled deep inside while Murrumbool and moontha waited. One woman said to the other “Our husband makes us tired taking us about; we’ll block up the mouth of the hole and go back to camp.”

 

Wunbula went far into the hole, and when he came back he found he was trapped. “They have shut me up, Murrumbool and Moontha” he said. but soon he heard a fly buzzing and, carrying the dog under his arm, followed the insect a long way through the tunel until it escaped through a little hole. He enlarged the hole, crawled out and returned to camp.

 

“Let’s go for ant larvae, women,” he said. They set off but it was hot and Wunbula suggested they have a swim. They went over to the creek bank and he said: “Come on Let’s bathe - you go on one side, you on the other and me in the middle.”

 

There were barbed spears sticking out of the creek bottom on each side, and as the women got into the water they were impaled. They went up into the sky to become stars in the Munowra, (part of the star constellation Canis Major) and Wunbula, their husband, went up too (told by Noleman, of the Wandandian Tribe to Mr Andrew MacKenzie, Shoalhaven, in Organ 1990, p.Lxii)
