Milmilngkan

Hear the pronunciation, spoken by Ananais Jawulba

Milmilngkan is a duwa moiety place belonging to us. This is the place where I live. There is a sacred site, a Djang, near the billabong. It is a spring. Milmilngkan is where the Rainbow Serpent pierced the ground. There is a Rainbow Serpent there that watches over that place. At Milmilngkan today I have two houses. In the coming dry season they will build a 4-bedroom house there.
